PAX

PAX is a Dutch organisation dedicated to global peace and justice. We support people in conflict zones who work to promote peaceful and democratic societies. We work toward the protection of civilians against violence, toward the support of civilians who work to combat violence and against those who earn money from violence.

Everyone in the world can contribute to peace, but it takes courage. The courage to believe that peace is possible, to swim against the tide, to speak out and to carry on no matter what. The courage to praise peace, to shout it from the rooftops and to write it on the walls. The courage to call politicians to accountability and to look beyond one's own boundaries. The courage to reach out to people and to invite them to take part, regardless of their background.

PAX means peace. PAX brings together people who have the courage to stand for peace. Together with people in conflict areas and concerned citizens worldwide, PAX works to build just and peaceful societies across the globe.
