“The WomenCrossDMZ group, headed by activist and feminist Gloria Steinem, says it plans to embark on the May 24 march from the North Korean capital Pyongyang to the DMZ separating the two Koreas to ‘call for an end to the Korean War’. ‘There are some procedural steps left but we are headed in the direction of giving a green light,’ a government official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. North and South Korea are technically still at war after the 1950-53 Korea War ended in a truce, not a peace treaty. Despite its name, the DMZ is one of the most heavily militarized and fortified borders in the world.”
