For the first time in five years, WWW4Peace (Women Walk and Work for Peace), has extended the Peace Walk and celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD) to Auckland. This year WWW4Peace, IWPG (International Women’s Peace Group) and the newly established Nirvana Foundation have come together to organise an IWD event in Auckland on 8 March 2016. Continuing the momentum from four previous peace events in Wellington, this was a move to foster and raise awareness for the Culture of Peace in Auckland.
