“Each year International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September through observing 24 hours of non violence and cease fire. But true peace requires the building of societies where all members feel that they can flourish. It involves creating a world in which people are treated equally, regardless of their race.
Established in 1981 by a unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace. The UN’s 2022 theme for International Day of Peace is “End Racism. Build Peace.” Join CCPM & the efforts of the UN as we work towards a world where compassion and empathy overcome suspicion and hatred. A world that we can truly be proud of.

End Racism. Build Peace.
~ UN Secretary General, António Guterres
Racism continues to poison institutions, social structures, and everyday life in every society. It continues to be a driver of persistent inequality. And it continues to deny people their fundamental human rights. It destabilizes societies, undermines democracies, erodes the legitimacy of governments…the linkages between racism and gender inequality are unmistakable.”
