In a world rocked by conflict, it's easy to feel overwhelmed & powerless.
But all around us are everyday architects of peace – from volunteers to campaigners & civil society leaders – showing us how to take action to reshape our communities for the better.Â
As we begin the 100-day countdown to #PeaceDay, let's honour these changemakers & take inspiration from their example.

Hate speech is a growing threat to peace & security.
It divides communities, dehumanizes entire groups, and sets the stage for bloodshed.
We must break this outrageous cycle through education, support for those targeted by abuse & stronger interventions by governments & technology companies.
