International Day of Peace
21 September 2026
On 21 September, the world marks the International Day of Peace.
On this day, we recognise the individuals and communities dedicated to building a world free from violence, one grounded instead in love and peace.
In the current climate, this goal may seem difficult to achieve. We continue to witness hostility, aggression, and violence rooted in discrimination. It is now, more than ever, essential that we hold firm in our belief in peace and commit to working towards it.
On this day, we invite you to:
- Reach out and offer support to someone in your community
- Speak out against injustice wherever it occurs
- Engage in respectful dialogue with those whose views differ from your own
- Share a story that reflects hope, kindness, or peace
Peace is not simply something we hope for. It is something we must actively build, together, through consistent, deliberate action.
