“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” - Helen Keller During #PeaceJam2024, we discussed the issue of #InclusivePeace and heard from passionate disability advocates and experts who are leading efforts to promote inclusion and accessibility in peacebuilding. Inclusive peace requires us all to collaborate and find solutions that work for everyone. Marginalized communities often face exclusion from peacebuilding discussions, even though they bear a disproportionate burden in conflicts. Their unique circumstances require tailor-made solutions. We extend a heartfelt thank you to all the participants, moderators, panelists, and organizers who joined us for #PeaceJam2024. Your contributions were invaluable, and your insights and engagement have demonstrated that together, we can make a difference. Let’s continue this important conversation. Stay connected, stay engaged, and keep advocating for a world where every voice is heard and respected. Thank you for being part of this incredible event! #peacejam2024 #inclusivepeace #defyhatenow

Was hosted on Radio Miraya this morning by Kiden Lucy Michaiah to talk about how we at Defyhatenow_EA and #defyhatenow will be commemorating the International Day for Countering Hate Speech that falls on 18 June. I made mention of #PeaceJam2024 happening this afternoon online via Zoom and an inperson two day symposium later in the week. #PeaceJam2024 focuses on inclusivity and reinforce the fact that every voice matters in the journey toward peace while the symposium will explore aspects of tech accountability and investing in the power of youth to counter hate speech.
