WeHope is a Boston based nonprofit organization that stands up for the ‘comfort women’ victims and human rights. Together, we work towards our missions.
We perceive 'comfort women' issue as a serious violation of human rights and dedicate ourselves to raising awareness about this issue. Started by Korean students 2 years ago, we are mostly college students in 6 different schools (Berklee College of Music, Boston University, Brandeis University, MCPHS University, Northeastern University, Ohio State University). We host various fundraisers to build
the Statue of Peace in Boston. We study the truthful history of the 'comfort women' issue and share it by creating informative online contents and hosting various public awareness campaigns.

We are excited to announce the launch of our GoFundMe page!
Crowdfunding is a perfect way to show the City of Boston the amount of public support we have. Donations of any amount via GoFundMe would take us a step closer to building the Statue of Peace.
We set our short-term goal to get 250 donors by April 2023 and are optimistic to receive your support.
Together, We Can Build the Statue of Peace in Boston!
‘In remembrance of all the victims of Japanese Military Sexual Slavery and all those who have suffered from atrocious s*x crimes of the battlefields.’
Thank you,
WeHope

Along with the victims of ‘comfort women’, shed light upon the future of women’s rights that have been neglected
1. To provide the cost/funds needed to build a ‘comfort women’ memorial statue in Boston
2. To commemorate the sufferings ‘comfort women’ have experienced and promote women’s rights
Started by Korean students 2 years ago, we are mostly college students in 6 different schools (Berklee College of Music, Boston University, Brandeis University, MCPHS University, Northeastern University, and Ohio State University).

WeHope (위홉)은 ‘위안부’ 문제를 심각한 여성 인권침해로 인지하여 ‘위안부’ 할머니들의 고통을 알리고, 다시는 이러한 일들이 반복되지 않도록 보스턴 한인 학생들이 자발적으로 모여 만든 비영리단체입니다.
저희는 이러한 궁극적인 목표를 달성하기 위해 함께 올바른 역사를 공부하고 주변에 알리고 있습니다. 뿐만 아니라, 다양한 펀드레이징 이벤트 주최 및 서명운동 격려, SNS 홍보 등의 활동을 하고 있습니다. 저희의 첫번째 행보는 보스턴에 있는 각 학교의 한인학생회와 협업하여 보스턴에 소녀상을 세우는 것입니다. 더 나아가, 보스턴 사회에 긍정적인 영향을 미치기를 희망합니다.
비전
‘위안부’ 피해자 할머니들과 함께 어두웠던 여성인권의 지난 날을 기억하고 내일을 밝히자
미션
1. 보스턴에 평화의 소녀상을 건립하기 위한 비용 마련
2. ‘위안부’ 피해자 할머니들이 겪은 고통을 함께 기억하고 그와 더불어 여성인권에 대한 인식 향상
