🕰️ Is ‘#peace’ out? – Why the term is changing 🆕 Sandra Klaft (Peace for Future) shows in her article what young people in Germany understand by ‘peace’ – much more than the mere absence of war: #Justice, #NoDiscrimination #SocialCohesion

💜 Feminist peacebuilding means taking a holistic view of conflicts. 🚫 Peace without #feminism? Incomplete. If you want peace, you have to take everyone's needs into account – otherwise new damage will be done.

🌱 #SDG16 is a key enabler for the entire #2030Agenda. #Peace, #justice, and strong institutions are essential to #progress on all other goals. #opportunity Through the Civil Society Platform for Peacebuilding and Statebuilding (CSPPS), we are committed to funding peace work.

👐 #SDG16Now prioritises inclusion, civic space, and human rights! 🌍 We won’t achieve the 2030 Agenda without civil society and without societies that put human rights at the core of their SDG actions.

This partnership means for FriEnt: 🤝Civil society and state actors jointly #develop the agenda. 🤝Trust forms the basis of the relationship. 🤝The partnership is permanent and institutionalized. 🤝The #cooperation is adequately funded. To achieve the 2030 Agenda, we need to focus on #SDG16! #peace

💡 What does #peace mean to us? ⏳#Sustainable approaches! 📽️ Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5iE... #SDG16Now #Security #ConflictPrevention #Peacebuilding #Development

⚖️ What does justice mean to us? ✔️ Promoting peace that’s more than the absence of war. ✔️ Ensuring human security – politically, socially, and economically. ✔️ Building positive peace – grounded in rights, inclusion, and trust.

🔎🎯 Let’s zoom in on #SDG16.1: The global economic impact of violence reached $19.97 trillion in 2024 – equivalent to 11.6% of global GDP or $2,455 per person. 👁️‍🗨️ Where do we stand on reducing all forms of violence?
