From May 2021 to 2023, the Palestine Women’s Trauma Healing Center, which had been receiving support through ADI, will now be supported directly by the Korean Council starting in 2024.
Local activists in Palestine and the Korean Council will be together to carry out activities for Palestinian women who endure the dual suffering of GBV and OBV. Understanding the suffering of women during escalating conflict and empathizing with the urgent cries and strong determination of survivors who hoped for no more victims in the future, we will move forward together.
The Korean Council actively engages in international solidarity activities to support women and children suffering from sexual violence in conflict and aim to prevent and eradicate sexual violence in conflict.
The Butterfly Fund was founded on International Women’s Day on March 8th, 2012 by Japanese military sexual slavery victims Kim Bok-dong and Gil Won-ok halmonis. Two halmonis promised to support women who still suffer from sexual violence in conflict with all of the reparations they would receive from the Japanese government. As the Japanese government continued to deny its crimes and responsibilities, two halmonis started the Butterfly Fund and citizens stood in solidarity with halmonis.
