NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, March 9, 2026 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — Amidst the global gathering for the 70th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70), the International Women\u2019s Peace Group (IWPG) hosted a landmark event to redefine peacebuilding through the lived experiences of women.<\/p>\n

On March 7, at the National Opera Center in Manhattan, IWPG convened 50 local members for its \u2018Peace Talk\u2019 forum. The event marked the global debut of IWPG\u2019s newest initiative: the PLACE Campaign.<\/p>\n

\u2018PLACE,\u2019 which stands for \u2018Peace as Lived And Connected Experience,\u2019 is a pioneering \u2018peace narrative archiving\u2019 project. The campaign focuses on structurally documenting and connecting the everyday peacebuilding efforts of women\u2014actions that are often overlooked but crucial for sustainable peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeace is not a gift bestowed upon us from the outside; it is a capability that begins within each individual,\u201d said Na Young Jeon, chairwoman of IWPG, during her keynote address. \u201cWhen women archive and share these lived experiences, peace shifts from an abstract concept to a tangible cultural movement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The significance of the campaign was highlighted by Glossy (28), a New York-based professional who participated in the session.
\u201cIn the competitive corporate landscape of New York, PLACE helped me realize that peace starts within my own sphere,\u201d Glossy shared. \u201cI now see my role as a \u2018mediator\u2019 who can foster harmony in a male-dominated professional setting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The New York \u2018Peace Talk\u2019 is a key part of IWPG\u2019s extensive schedule during CSW70, which includes a peace forum at Columbia University and an official UN CSW Side Event.<\/p>\n
