Current approaches to violent extremism which excessively focus on counter terrorism and increasing military capacity, have failed to either stop violence or create peace. On the contrary, they have led to distrust in government institutions and alienation of large sections of the population.
Doubling down on these past approaches will not resolve the issue. A new approach is needed and Towards an Inclusive Peace can offer it. Come and learn about human-centred approaches that prioritize sustainable peace, while dealing with root causes, advancing human rights, strengthening communities and enabling development.
