Peace Over Violence Launches its 100 Ways, 100 Days Campaign
Peace Over Violence has just launched its newest campaign, 100 Ways, 100 Days. We are taking every opportunity to discuss the idea of looking at violence prevention in a different way, the idea of actually choosing peace each and every time we have an opportunity in our daily lives.
As we thought about our mission—building healthy relationships, families and communities free from sexual, domestic and interpersonal violence—we realized that all forms of violence in our society are interconnected. We realized that we cannot work to eliminate sexual assault and domestic violence against women and children in isolation, without regard for the connection that these particular manifestations of violence have to other forms of violence.
This realization of the interconnectedness of violence led to our final realization, our epiphany: ONLY BY ACTIVELY CHOOSING PEACE CAN WE OVERCOME VIOLENCE. The only way to eliminate interpersonal violence from our society is for each of us to choose peace, every day in every choice we make, in every action we take. If we can change attitudes, we can change the world. Help us spread the message that we can all, each day, choose peace over violence.
