In the turbulent days of May 1980, the city of Gwangju was a crucible of democratic fervor and resistance. At the heart of this fervor stood the Gwangju YWCA, a pivotal actor in the May 18 Democratic Uprising, as the citizens of Gwangju rose against the oppressive military regime. The YWCA, led by dedicated figures such as Jo A-ra, played a crucial role in organizing and supporting the resistance efforts, providing both a physical and ideological haven. The Gwangju YWCA was previously located at a historic site, now remembered as the May 18 Historic Sites, a place that witnessed the unfolding of pivotal events. As the protests erupted, the YWCA became a beacon of leadership, guiding the May 18 Democratic Uprising through its darkest hours. It was here that Jo A-ra, a prominent leader and renovator of the YWCA, engaged with the May 18 Citizens' Emergency Headquarters, a committee focused on restoring order and achieving democratic rights. The legacy of the YWCA's involvement was further cemented through the programs such as the May YWCA Citizens' forum, which fostered community discussion and reflection on the uprising. With affiliations to figures like Yi Ae-sin and the national YWCA, the Gwangju YWCA embodied the spirit of unity and resilience. Its connection to the Gwangju YWCA Credit Union also emphasized the economic and social support extended to the community during trying times. Thus, the story of the Gwangju YWCA during the May 18 Democratic Uprising is one of courage, leadership, and unwavering commitment to democratic ideals, marking it as an indelible part of Korea's journey toward democracy. The events of May 1980, grounded in the places and actors connected through a web of affiliations and relationships, continue to resonate as a testament to the power of collective action.
