Staff reflections from initial survey
build a world where everyone is free & safe
- to bring justice, and freedom from oppression
- This is the most powerful and least ambiguous version
- Ever since I heard Eva say this it has really sat with me. We are not all free until we are all free.
create more just & inclusive societies
- Feels honorable and with integrity to what we’re doing.
- I prefer “create more just and inclusive societies” because it highlights both fairness and belonging. Peacebuilding is not only about ending conflict but also about shaping societies where all people feel represented, protected, and valued.
- “Inclusive societies” speaks to sustainable, structural change, not just the absence of violence.
- keep as is
- I find the others too lovey-dovey I prefer the statement as it currently stands, but would modify it a little by adding the dialogue component – like so: create more just and inclusive societies through dialogue and other tools for peacebuilding
