20 YEARS OF PEACE ONE DAY

ABOUT PEACE ONE DAY

Jeremy Gilley founded Peace One Day in 1999 to establish an annual Peace Day with a fixed calendar date and document the process. In 2001 Peace One Day’s efforts were rewarded when the member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non- violence on 21 September – Peace Day. Peace One Day’s overarching objective is to ensure that people are aware of the day and actively take part in peaceful activities.

Reports supported by McKinsey & Co. would indicate that over a billion people are now aware of the day, with an estimated 16 million people behaving more peacefully on the day as a result.

2019 sees the launch of Peace One Day’s new campaign Cyber Non-violence, seeking to decrease online hate speech, racism, bullying and ridicule, and hoping to see an increase in peaceful communication online.
