"Peace is not a line we cross.
It is a choice we make.
Peace is not found, it is built."
Ahead of this week’s #PeaceDay, we join UN Global Advocate for Peace Maryam Bukar Hassan in calling on everyone, everywhere, to stand for peace. Watch and get inspired by the powerful message of hope the Nigerian artist and poet delivers in her spoken word piece ‘Peace is a Verb’.
#PeaceBegins with me, you, and all of us.
