Importantly, while there are now more conflicts than in the past, many fewer people die in them.
Shortly after the World Wars, almost half a million people died in conflicts in any given year.
In recent decades, the number was almost always lower than 100,000 people per year.

75 years ago, @UN was founded to unite the world to confront the challenges facing all of humanity. With growing inequality, climate crisis, #COVID19, toxic nationalism, and ongoing conflict - it is clear that the promise of the UN remains as important as ever. #UN75
We celebrate the @UN #UN75. Its humanitarian efforts have saved lives, it has brokered and kept peace in conflict areas around the world, promoted #HumanRights, and created & championed an agenda for sustainable development. #PeaceDay #GlobalGoals
But @UN's promise remains unfulfilled. Globally, #WomensRights are being rolled back, women human rights defenders are under attack. 25 yrs since the Beijing Declaration, & 20 yrs since UNSC Res. 1325, govts aren't meeting commitments to #WomenPeaceSecurity & gender equality.

#WorldPeaceDay #DisasterRiskReduction
Compassion, kindness, hope are core qualities of the countless professionals and volunteers that sustain the Covid19 effort and other concurrent emergencies. Today on #30days30waysUK we celebrate YOU, the people that are making a positive difference despite hardship every day.
Covid19 has exposed fault lines in our societies. Marginalised communities suffer more than others. Hate speech + discrimination are on the rise. You can speak up on social media, challenge misconceptions and express support for those in need.

When women join peace talks, peace agreements are 35% more likely to last.
Yet only 8% of peace negotiators were women, between 2011-2017.
It's time to change this. ✊🏾✊🏼✊🏿

This International #PeaceDay we asked humanist movement leaders and activists what peace means for them. Read: iheu.org/humanists-inte…
