Auckland's time to welcome the Statue of Peace is 7-23 Jan 2026.

Click the link above and let the Auckland Council know your thoughts today. It will show the Council we are a mature city that stands against gender-based violence of the past, present and future through participatory art. 

Auckland local women-led grassroots group is bringing a Statue of Peace to Auckland in 2026. 

We're Korean New Zealanders, public health specialists, environmental workers, academics, small business owners, artists, and parents; ordinary people who call both Korea and Aotearoa home. 

We are all volunteers working on this project because we believe remembering complex histories makes us and future stronger.

Thank you for joining us for an evening of creating, learning, and connecting. We are excited to support Amnesty International Aotearoa New Zealand's 'Write for Rights' campaign with this event.

What we did together:

INK: Write postcards to MPs, councillors, and community leaders about issues you care about - ending gender-based violence, supporting survivors, building peace.

THREAD: Fold yellow paper butterflies - the symbol of the Korean sexual trafficking and slavery survivor movement that's been used in 30+ years of organised resistance.

VOICE: Learn how women around the world have told their stories when systems failed them through art, protest, testimony, and community organising.
