IRD Activities

• Stop War

  RfP helps religious communities engage those assets to stop—and prevent—war. In every part of the globe, we work with religious groups to understand and address the root causes of conflict, to conduct mediation and negotiation among armed groups, and to lead communities in the reconciliation and healing needed to build true and lasting peace

• Build Communities

  RfP works with diverse faith communities to promote religious freedom and pluralism, and to protect the most vulnerable among us—including religious minorities and children. Where communities are divided along religious lines, RfP's multi-religious partnerships bridge those divides and help both sides appreciate their shared values

• Global Interfaith Youth Network

  Religions for Peace Global Interfaith Youth Network harnesses the energy and commitment of religious youth leaders around the world to advance its mission of multi-religious cooperation for peace. Through these diverse groups of young religious leaders, the Global Interfaith Youth Network mobilizes youth to confront some of our most urgent challenges – transforming and preventing violent conflict, promoting just and harmonious societies, fostering human development and protecting the earth. The Global Interfaith Youth Network is led by the International Youth Committee (IYC), comprised of fifteen members representing the world’s faith traditions from six continents. As strong faith leaders from various religious backgrounds, these youths are elected to stand as representatives for their respective regions, standing as a voice for global youth within Religions for Peace overall structure.
