 UNI KLC Women Committee held a Healing Camp for women leaders of UNI Korean Liaison Council affiliates in December 2012 to help them understand UNI guidelines on Gender Equality, its Campaigns and the international trend of women issues. They were eager to learn about what is happening on women in other countries.



In Korea, the word “healing” is very often used and popular as many people are both physically and mentally tired in their busy, competitive and stressful life and want to be healed or relaxed, that’s why UNI KLC Women Committee organized a “Healing Camp” style workshop to make women participants relaxed and have a brass tacks discussion. In spite of the very busy month of December and heavy snowfalls, it was successful with 40 women who gathered in the roof-top meeting room of a catholic church building next to KFCLU office in Seoul. Easy-going frank talks included how to respond to your aging with common sense of medical and health knowledge by KHMU (representing Health and Medical Workers) activist and make-up demonstration by KPSU (Private Service Workers) activist.



UNI KLC Women Committee decided to carry on such soft but easy to access type of activities for networking, socialization and fostering a sense of solidarity among women activists.



This year UNI KLC Women Committee is planning to organize a study tour to European counties to learn about the Work-Life balance, child care, elderly care and gender equality in 2013.
