we have witnessed firsthand the devastating cycle of brokenness. It begins with an individual who has not reconciled with themselves or their families, they continue to carry this pain and they often inflict pain on others around them. This pain then spreads from person to person like a disease where this broken person often forms a relationship with another similarly broken individual, who is also hurting, leading to a broken marriage. Such unions invariably result in children who carry this legacy of pain and the weight of their parents' unresolved issues into their schools, creating toxic environments that affect all students. These children grow into adults who perpetuate negativity in their workplaces.

The ripple effect is undeniable - from individuals to families, communities to nations - we are all affected by this cycle of damage and discord. The repercussions extend beyond personal relationships; they influence the state of our nations and countries as well leading to conflicts and wars.

The Global Peace Index (GPI) 2020 report shows that the world's overall peacefulness has deteriorated over the past year - a testament to how widespread this issue is (Institute for Economics & Peace). According to the Global Peace Index 2021 report by the Institute for Economics & Peace, only 23 out of 163 countries are not involved in any conflict. This means approximately 86% of countries worldwide are engaged in some form of dispute or war (Institute for Economics & Peace).

It's time we address this issue at its root - fostering peace and reconciliation within ourselves first before extending it to our families then our communities until it reaches our nations and countries. We need policies that promote mental health awareness, provide support for struggling families and create peaceful dialogues between conflicting parties at all levels. We need your support in advocating for policies that promote healing instead of division; reconciliation instead of conflict; love instead of hate. 

We need peace and reconciliation at every level - from individual hearts to international relations - if we are going to stop this cycle of hurt.

This petition calls upon world leaders, international organizations such as the United Nations (UN), Government leaders, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community leaders, educators, parents – everyone – to take action towards promoting peace and reconciliation.

Let's break the cycle of brokenness now! Let us come together as a global community committed to healing ourselves so that we can heal our world. Let us strive for peace within ourselves so we can bring peace within our homes; let us foster harmony in our homes so we can promote unity in our nations; let us cultivate unity among nations so we can achieve tranquility across countries.

Sign this petition if you believe in promoting peace starting from within ourselves extending outwards towards global harmony, if you believe in the power of reconciliation and want to see a more peaceful world for future generations.
