The United Nations declared 21st September as the International Day of Peace (Peace Day) recognising the significance of addressing the challenges of peace and security around the world. Peace Day is observed around the world by individuals, organisations and nations who commit themselves above all differences to contribute to building a culture of peace. The day was established by the UN General Assembly in 1981 and declared as a period of non-violence and cease-fire in 2001.The 2022 theme for the International Day of Peace is, “End racism, Build Peace”.
Why is this important?
Against this background Women's Coalition of Zimbabwe is conducting this peace pledge which will promote women's participation in peace processes and encourage different groups of people to commit to promoting peace in communities and at all levels in Zimbabwe
