Global Region 5 had a very meaningful meeting that stemmed from the UN CSW (Commission on the Status of Women).
On Nov 5, Regional Director Sujin Park had an online meeting with Dr. Mamatha Raghuveer Achanta, founder of Tharuni, whom she first met at this year’s CSW. Dr. Mamatha, a lawyer, is running Tharuni and working as an instructor for public officers.
She showed great interest in IWPG Peace Education and said, “I will join the December class immediately,” also requesting additional material and the class curriculum. She also showed great enthusiasm in international peace activities such as the Apr 26 International Women’s Peace Day commemoration. She said, “I will definitely participate next year. It is always meaningful to share the value of peace. I will also expand into Mumbai and Hyderabad,” promising an expansion of the intra-India peace network.
