The word peace holds a huge significance in our lives. One main reason to observe International Day of Peace is to strengthen international ties to solve worldwide problems, including the protection of people. In collaboration with the United Nations, the Art of Giving initiative has set up a range of initiatives to expand the word about a range of themes that are the focus of the International Day of Peace. One of these important motives is the protection of people in their habitats, communities, institutions, and places of work.

Each person in this world merits the right to live a free and secure life without fear, abuse or neglect, irrespective of their age, gender, or ethnicity. The central way in which we can develop the protection of people globally is to reduce violence which is prevalent across the globe. Violence is a threatening problem globally that affects numerous people in society and has a long-term impact on future generations.

Peace doesn’t come cheap. Our ancestors have fought for peace. The best example is Mahatma Gandhi and his ideology. From the beginning, he knew that the world needed a revolution, but this time the revolution had to be non-violent. Never in the history of mankind had there been a revolution that was led by the agenda of non-violence and peace. We as Indians should be proud that we have led the non-violence way. Now it is time to preserve the peace that we have got.

At AOG we promote the idea of anti-bullying, spread messages of love, hope, and respect to create change that will be sustainable for future generations.
