On 28th January 2020, US President Donald Trump issued a Middle East “peace plan”, whose contents ignore and undermine numerous international agreements and UN resolutions, and would accelerate the current illegal occupation by Israel. The YWCA of Japan stands in solidarity with the people and women of Palestine. We call for a realization of peace by putting an end to the occupation, instead of a one-sided “peace plan”.
YWCA（Young Women’s Christian Association）is an international NGO where, upon a Christian foundation, women from around the world exceed the barriers of language and cultures and work together to encourage women’s participation in society and to realize a peaceful world where human rights, health and environment is protected. The movement began in Great Britain in 1855, and nowadays, it works in more than 100 countries throughout the world. The YWCA of Japan works with 24 local YWCAs and 37 junior and senior high-school YWCAs, and holds ESOSOC consultative status since 2019.
