For people living in violent conflict, nonviolence can change everything.
Nonviolent Peaceforce's mission is to protect civilians in violent conflicts through unarmed strategies, build peace side-by-side with local communities, and advocate for the wider adoption of these approaches to safeguard human lives and dignity. Our evidence-informed, civilian-led approaches have protected tens of thousands of people around the world since our launch in 2002—impacting millions more and helping communities live free from fear and become equipped to protect themselves and create sustainable peace.
We envision a worldwide culture of peace in which conflicts within and between communities and countries are managed through nonviolent means. Radically centering those most impacted by violence, we champion unarmed civilian protection (UCP) — using encouragement and deterrence, rather than violence and fear.
Reimagine Security
We work alongside communities to interrupt and prevent violence using unarmed civilian protection (UCP). Not only do we advocate for and train, but we also directly protect civilians.
Transform Communities
We expand access to life-saving, evidence-based peace strategies that are civilian-led — giving communities an actionable way forward to a new reality.
Sustain Peace
We enhance existing strengths so communities are equipped to protect themselves and sustain peace — creating opportunities to thrive.
87.8% of your support goes directly to protecting civilians.

Today, the level of violent conflict is increasing across the globe. This violence isn’t solving problems … it’s making the world more dangerous for us all. But you and I know there is another way. For 20 years, NP has been on the ground protecting civilians and working side-by-side with local communities to resolve conflicts. What makes our work truly remarkable is we do it all through unarmed strategies, and the extraordinary generosity of caring friends like you.
