Amplifying Marginalized Voices for Inclusive Peacebuilding – Ethiopia Pre-PeaceJam2024 Festival.
This event aimed to create an inclusive space where marginalized voices were amplified, fostering dialogue, understanding, and actionable steps towards peacebuilding.
#PeaceJam2024
In conjunction with the United Nations International Day for Countering Hate Speech, June 18th, the #defyhatenow #PeaceJam will amplify the the voices of individuals and communities traditionally excluded from peacebuilding conversations. The aim is to recognise the disproportionate burden of conflict and hate speech borne by marginalised groups and advocate for their inclusion in finding solutions.

The Mirror and I by Aklile Gezahegn

From our communities to vast facebook, twitter and instagram streets,
Our tongues sting with hate;
Unconscious, sometimes conscious
Unverified, carelessly uttered words intended to divide, hurt or kill.
