[STATEMENT] The Ongoing Cheap Labor and Modern-day Slavery through Labor Export/Import Program
In August 2024, 100 women from the Philippines arrived in South Korea. They participated in a caregiver program held for the first time by the South Korean and Philippine governments, aimed at providing "assistance" to mothers or expectant mothers. The Korean government believes that this program will be able to address the problem of the sharply declining birth rate in their country. With a promised salary of up to USD 1,750 per month and a working time of 30 hours a week, these young women left their families in the Philippines.

Unity Statement of the International Solidarity Conference on War, Militarism and Displacement
Peace is not merely the temporary absence of war. The wars and conflicts that beset our world require us to look at and study the root causes of war so as to identify a genuine path away from the catastrophic state the world is in.
