Health as a Pillar of Peace
Contributing to positive peace by enhancing well-being of mothers and children
Health issues transcend political, economic, social, and ethnic divisions among peoples and provide a nexus for dialogue at multiple levels.
Better health outcomes directly enhance a person’s ability to take an active and productive part in life and thereby contribute to equality of opportunity. Through family planning projects we want to especially empower women, at the same time decrease population pressure and the tensions that come with it. Lastly, by aiming at children to live a life where they can enjoy their rights and where they can overcome troubles and develop freely, we tend to contribute to a more peaceful future.
