What people are saying

“Without peace, there is no health, and without health, there can be no peace.”

— Tedros A G.

“Excluding youth and women from peace and security issues has a detrimental effect in the quest to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5, and 16 by 2030. Youth and women have been adversely affected by conflict and have been restricted to being victims, survivors or perpetrators of violence in most instances making them passive participants when it comes to peacekeeping, peace-making and peace-building processes..”
