Steinem will be taking part in a women’s group’s march for peace on the Korean peninsula. So this will go well.
The 155-mile long Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea is one of the most dangerous places on Earth. But on May 24, a group of women intends to walk across it, from North to South.

Surprisingly enough, despite its record of human rights atrocities, North Korea has reportedly signed off on the march.

The march across the two-mile wide DMZ is meant to be a symbolic gesture of peace, 70 years after the peninsula was split at the end of World War II. Among the march's leaders is women's rights activist Gloria Steinem, honorary co-chair of the effort.
