Social Media Hashtag Campaign for Support for democracy in South Korea
On December 3, 2024, President Yoon Seok-yeol declared emergency martial law. This was a clear illegal act that destroyed democracy and violated human rights.
It was truly a night of terror for all citizens, and we still remember that night.
The YWCA of Korea immediately published a statement on December 4 condemning Yoon’s destruction of democracy and human rights.
A week has passed, and Yoon is still the president of South Korea. Our anxiety is far from over, and we want to truly bring peace back to our lives as soon as possible.
YWCA Korea, along with local YWCAs, is organizing a social media hashtag campaign in support of democracy in South Korea.
We are asking the YWCA community around the world to join us in this campaign for justice, peace, and life.
