The purpose of HWPL is to bring about the cessation of war an establish peace as an inheritance for future generations. Certainly, world peace will be achieved if all reporters are accountable for accurating reporting standards and continually report on peace."

Therefore, we call women and youth of the world to sign a statement to urge for the implementation of the convention on peace. We will work until the time when we can inherit a sustainable peace as an eternal legacy for our children."
