Our organization was founded on March 28 1997. We conduct research on the conditions and methods necessary for the peaceful reunification of Korea, and present policies toward that goal from a feminist perspective.

We promote tolerance and peace of mind as general values in society, promote citizens’ peace-making skills, and in general cultivate a life-centered culture of peace for the world.

We carry out concrete social actions to facilitate Korean reunification and peace. We try to facilitate the equal participation of women in the settlement of conflicts and disputes and to promote women’s leadership in peace-making at home and abroad.

What we do: Through seminars, forums, and a variety of initiatives that bring participants together, the Forum nurtures the cross-pollination of ideas and experiences from a diverse set of individuals, including leaders in government, academia, youth and women?s groups, non-governmental organizations, the media, United Nations agencies, and the business community. Such diversity creates unique partnerships to address global development issues from an integrative cross-sectoral and inventive approach. The Forum for Global Action relies on knowledge and experiences from diverse organizations with local, national and international expertise in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and South and Central America. Special focus is placed on working with youth organizations such as the the African Regional Youth Initiative in building a network of global leaders. (Homepage & About & links to articles).

Who We Are: The Forum for Global Action aims to foster innovative thinking on social, economic and political issues by (1) bringing voices of marginalized people into global debates about public policy, and (2) promoting alternative ways of consulting global civil society groups and movements. Overall, the Forum strives to improve the relationship between global civil society organizations and global institutions (i.e. United Nations and the World Bank) to discuss policy challenges and brainstorm new ways of thinking and acting on global issues.

Trident Renewal and international law, January 2007: MPs will soon face a momentous decision. Should Britain continue to deploy nuclear weapons for several more decades?
