A new story of security
Mariam,
the Sahel
“This course allowed me to demystify the protection of civilians because I thought it was the prerogative of armed actors only. Understanding that this protection must be done by civilians reinforces my desire to contribute to it."
Richelle,
Mindanao, Philippines
"As a peacebuilder, I believe that my voice can be a tool in helping my co-youth and community towards peace and development ... I’m now confident in my capacity to lead and act in my community."
A young man,
IDP Camp, Iraq
“We learned that we can prevent problems if we control our feeling when we feel angry and this will reduce or prevent violence as well as controlling ourselves helps us maintain the relationship among each other.”
Aurora,
Minnesota, U.S.
“The work that Nonviolent Peaceforce is doing is not only needed and helpful, but volunteering with NP also gives me a place where I am able to create community, which is incredibly important.”
