#PKDay

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

In a world rocked by conflict, it's easy to feel overwhelmed & powerless.

But all around us are everyday architects of peace – from volunteers to campaigners & civil society leaders – showing us how to take action to reshape our communities for the better. 

As we begin the 100-day countdown to #PeaceDay, let's honour these changemakers & take inspiration from their example.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Hate speech is a growing threat to peace & security.

It divides communities, dehumanizes entire groups, and sets the stage for bloodshed.

We must break this outrageous cycle through education, support for those targeted by abuse & stronger interventions by governments & technology companies.

To provide protection and support peacebuilding, #UNMISS peacekeepers patrolled areas in Tonj East and South to assess the security and engage with local leaders. Their presence helped reassure communities in Maboir Yar in the wake of fighting just days prior and provided practical support to address healthcare challenges in Thiet, including cement for repairs to the clinic and other essential items.
