Women wage peace signed a Worldwide Peace Manifesto 2020, a message for world leaders:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

To A World In Which All Children Can Play<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1) We are all responsible for: A World in Which All Children Can Play<\/strong><\/p>\n

This vision can be used to envision world peace. It is essential to maintain good relationships with political leaders of other countries. And to empower voices of peace, people who help each other and come up with innovative ideas. In the case of a civil war, the international community should unite and stimulate dialogue between warring parties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2)\u00a0<\/strong>Please sign the nuclear ban, the Treaty on the\u00a0Prohibition of\u00a0Nuclear\u00a0Weapons<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is 100 seconds to midnight on the symbolic Doomsday Clock of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. According to Princeton University, 90 million people will die or become wounded in the first few hours after a nuclear war breaks out. More people will die through radiation and hunger. If your country has already signed the Nuclear Ban, that is wonderful!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3)\u00a0<\/strong>Please call for a ban on killer robots, lethal autonomous weapons<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join the 4500 artificial intelligence researchers who have called for a ban on lethal autonomous weapons. As e.g. Meia Chita-Tegmark has explained in a video about\u00a0Why we should ban lethal autonomous weapons<\/em>, artificial intelligence should be used to save and improve lives, not to do destroy them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4) Invest in peace via peaceful means, humanitarian action and poverty reduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor Bellamy (2019) states that despite clear evidence that, for example, conflict prevention, humanitarian action, and peacebuilding have positive impacts, these activities are all under-resourced. Global spending on arms is approximately $1.9 trillion. It is estimated that the annual cost of war is around $1.0 trillion. We promote investing in peace via peaceful means and humanitarian action. Gender equality promotes more peaceful societies. Furthermore, the participation of the youth in the field of peace and security is vital.<\/p>\n

Hunger must be stopped, and fresh water provided, also by empowering innovative ideas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5)\u00a0<\/strong>Protect nature and stop climate change<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Doomsday Clock has moved to 100 seconds to midnight because of nuclear weapons\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0climate change. Please follow the advice of climate scientists, climate and nature activists, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of the UN (IPCC). Halt deforestation and encourage biodiversity.<\/p>\n
