Your mission will be to research, analyze, and write an impactful article to raise awareness among young people and a wider audience globally about the issues of peace, access to justice for all, good governance, and the reduction of violence and corruption. This is a concrete opportunity to help build safer and more equitable societies! Here's what you'll do specifically: Research and Monitoring: You'll explore reliable sources (UN, UNDP, Transparency International, International Criminal Court reports, research articles) to gather data, statistics, and concrete examples of conflicts, violence, corruption, access to justice, and the role of institutions in maintaining peace and security. Analysis and Synthesis: You'll organize your findings to identify barriers to peace and justice, as well as innovative solutions, adopting a global perspective and emphasizing the importance of good governance. Article Writing: You'll write an article of 500 to 800 words for our platform. The article should include key facts, concrete examples (e.g., peacebuilding initiatives, judicial reforms, anti-corruption campaigns), and calls to action. Your text will be for a young and broader global audience, so it should be accessible, educational, and engaging, avoiding complex jargon. Relevant angles for your article on SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions: For an impactful and comprehensive article, here are some concrete and current angles you could explore: Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding: Address the causes of conflicts (poverty, inequality, poor governance) and strategies for preventing them.
