Peace Direct believe that local people have the power to find their own solutions to conflict. Our mission is to help them to make this happen. Local people are the key to preventing, resolving and healing conflicts. They are the best way to break recurrent cycles of violence and make peace last. And increasingly they want to move away from depending on outside help, towards building their own futures. In addition, Peace Direct publishes Peace Insight, providing information on local peace-building organisations in areas of conflict, advocating international development that prioritises the views and leadership of people and organisations in the countries affected, over those of outsiders from the international community. www.peacedirect.org

‘It is local people who know the environment, it is local people who know how the war affected them…So at the peacebuilding table, it is important that local people should be there.’ Continuing our online gallery, The Real Stories of Peace, we're sharing Celine Osukwu's story #PeaceStartsHere After experiencing the effects of violence first-hand during conflicts in her community in #Nigeria, Celine committed to working in peacebuilding. Celine has seen how consistently women, children and people with disabilities are left out of peace negotiations and how often external actors try to dictate where peace starts. Celine works to acknowledge and enhance gender justice by calling on stakeholders to act together for peace. She has become a champion for inclusion of persons with disabilities in local efforts to build peace. 'I’ve learnt that in #peacebuilding, no group of people…should be left behind.' For Celine, peace starts with total acceptance and inclusion. #PinYourPeace Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/gZ2zTbut
