PBI making space for peace

Peace Brigades International (PBI) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which protects human rights and promotes nonviolent transformation of conflicts.When invited, they send teams of volunteers into areas of repression and conflict. The volunteers accompany human rights defenders, their organizations and others threatened by political violence. Perpetrators of human rights abuses usually do not want the world to witness their actions. The presence of volunteers backed by a support network helps to deter violence. PBI CREATES SPACE for local activists to work for social justice and human rights.

Preparation of fieldtrips and Peace Education activities


One of PBI's very important principles is the principle of transparency. In PBI's daily work this  is shown by the fact that all the activities of PBI are well socialized with the local authorities like the head of locale government, police and military. Before PBI carries out a fieldtrip or a peace education activity PBI makes sure that the local authorities know who PBI is what PBI's principles are and what the activities are that will be carried out. In this picture you see the head of the police force in Wamena.
