"Unyielding Voices” From Conflict Zones to Digital Frontlines: Faith in Action for the Women Peace and Security Agenda

Aligning with the Women, Peace and Security framework and the UN Women 2025 theme “UNiTE to End Digital Violence Against All Women and Girls,” this webinar addresses digital violence as a contemporary peace and security challenge. Online spaces - once seen as enablers of connection - have become new arenas of conflict, where gender-based abuse, misinformation, and digital harassment silence women mediators and peacebuilders. “Unyielding Voices” will draw attention to the enduring gap between policy frameworks and lived realities: women remain instrumentalized in conflict while structural change and sustainable peace remain elusive.
Yet across regions and realities, women continue to lead with commitment, resilience, and impact. This webinar celebrates that courage and calls on a global audience to become active supporters of the Women, Peace and Security agenda, advocating for digital safety, accountability, and inclusion as essential components of women’s participation and protection.

The 90-minute session combines storytelling, dialogue, and policy exchange. A moderated fireside conversation with a KAICIID Fellow mediator and a policy advocate will explore how digital and structural violence intersect in peacebuilding contexts through a faith-informed lens. Their discussion will lead into a high-level panel featuring representatives of KAICIID partner organizations and institutions, connecting lived experience with policy frameworks. This design ensures both depth of reflection and concrete outcomes in support of the Women, Peace and Security agenda.

75 Years of the European Convention on Human Rights: Keeping Human Rights Alive through Dialogue

Imagine Europe without the European Convention on Human Rights. No Court in Strasbourg to stand between individuals and states. No law to call out abuse, arbitrary detention, or the violation of dignity. No shield for the fragile threads that hold communities together.

EPDF Expert Meeting Report: Common Horizons - Interreligious Pathways to Social Cohesion and Climate Justice in Europe

EPDF expert meeting

On 8–9 April 2025, an Expert Meeting in Rome brought together 32 specialists from ten faith traditions across Europe, including young leaders, mayors, and activists. The event, co-organised with the European Council of Religious leaders/Religions for Peace Europe and the KAICIID-supported platform the Network for Dialogue, discussed two pressing challenges: the erosion of social cohesion and the growing climate crisis.

This report reflects on how the interconnectedness of care for people and the planet – a value shared across faith and religious traditions – calls for collective responsibility and action that transcend religious divides. The insights from the Rome Expert Meeting in addressing common challenges, including growing inequalities, the strain on human rights, and the urgent need for values-based governance, lay the foundation for the 6th EPDF in Geneva on 10–13 November 2025, which explores social cohesion and climate justice as inseparable dimensions of Europe’s future.

The Silence of Dialogue – A Reflection

International
Heroes of Dialogue

As a former Portuguese diplomat, who has long understood diplomacy as a humble service to dialogue and peace, I cannot but rejoice at the recent news of a long-awaited agreement in the blood-stained conflict in the Middle East, where so many innocent lives have been lost. Yet my experience has taught me that the path of peace is never linear, nor is it forged only at the negotiation table.
