Peace Day 2022

End racism. Build peace. 


As I mark #PeaceDay, I commend the UN Peacekeeping call to strengthen the ideals of peace to build communities where all are afforded equity and the opportunity to thrive.

Persistent injustice due to bias, discrimination and racism hinders fundamental human rights, perpetuates unrest, undermining democracy.

My Global Office is addressing this escalating crisis and pursuing peace at the 77th United Nations General Assembly this week, as they attend the Concordia Annual Summit and Devex #UNGA77 Halfway to 2030 today, advocating for the rights and dignity of people while building a practical pathway to a fairer world #SDGs.

Inspired by the words of #flotus, the First Lady of the United States, Dr Jill Biden at the #ConcordiaSummit, and as direct conflict and animosity destabilize societies across the globe, with health and economic challenges surging, we must convene to dismantle the systemic barriers which hinder our progress towards equality, empathy and a peaceful planet as we are all connected.
