Stop war

Six million people
One million people

Do you know what each number represents?
The number of casualties from the Korean War was six million people. 
One million people were killed or hurt by Iran-Iraq War.


#war #peace

After the Second World War, United Nations were established for international peace and safety preventing wars.
However, 5 years later, the Korean War occurred.

It showed that sadly UN cannot stop wars completely.

30 years later after the Korean War, there was Iran-Iraq War in the Middle East. 
The invasion by Iraq of Kuwait caused Gulf War.
Recently, Syrian civil war happened.


Can we say that we are safe from wars?

Truth be told, I was not interested in peace and wars before.
To me, peace is good and wars were bad. That was all.
However, after I grew old as an adult, I met many various foreign friends and talked a lot. 
From some of my friends, I realized that wars were not that far from me and many people still suffered from wars.

For example, I had some Rwandan friends. I heard miserable and terrible Rwandan Civil War from them. I was so shocked.

Those kinds of talking affected me. I decided that I would do something that I could do for peace. That decision made me start the blog.
#nowar #peace

I think you are not different from me.
Most of you will think that you have nothing to do with wars and peace.
However, if you look around the world a little bit more, you will find that many people still suffer from wars. 
Our attention can bring peace much faster to the world, ceasing wars, so I hope that you will pay attention to peace while you are living supporting peace.

Coercive Religious Conversion Program dealt in the New York Times

Have you ever heard of Coercive Religious Conversion Program? The word itself doesn't sound good. I think that's because it makes people feel so bad to do something coercive in this 21st century. Coercive Religious Conversion Program is to convert someone's religion in coercive way. Coercive Religious Conversion Program in Korea has made a sensation in the world recently. At the beginning of 2018, a woman was dead during the Coercive Religious Conversion Program. Ironically, even though the press in Korea didn't report that sad and cruel accident at that time, it has been receiving a media spotlight from the overseas media nowadays with the first anniversary ahead. Let us check why. A woman in New York city conducted a fund-raising campaign thinking that many people should know this after reading this miserable news. People who fight against Coercive Religious Conversion Program in Korea also got to know this news. Finally, with the fund-raising money, they cou
