The Symposium aims to increase public awareness and understanding of Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of Ahimsa (non-violence) as a non-violent approach to foster lasting peace within and across diverse & vulnerable communities, thereby accelerating inclusive, networked multilateralism with vision, ambition and impact, integral for a sustainable world.  The focus will be on how Ahimsa supports the global agenda for “Women, Peace and Security”.

The Gandhian values of Ahimsa — social action, justice and peace through non-violence — have universal relevance today.  This event coincides with other peace-related events: Commemoration of Mahatma Gandhi’s Birth Anniversary and UN International Non- Violence Day (2 October), and of UN International Day of Peace (21 September).
