THE PROBLEM
Violent conflicts resulting from historical harms, disparities among diverse groups, and systemic injustice lead to a decrease in societal cohesiveness, a reduction in community connectivity, and a decline in our collective well-being
Conflicts and violence also contribute to both individual and collective trauma, which hinders peaceful coexistence within ourselves and in our communities.
OUR SOLUTION
At DIPAD, we engage communities affected by cycles of violence in exploring pathways to achieve positive peace.
We work with communities by offering programs on trauma awareness, restorative justice, peace education as well as women and youth leadership development. We hold the belief that peace can be achieved by addressing conflicts at various levels and this includes; personal, interpersonal, and communal relationships.
