About PEACE SOS
A better and fairer world for all of us.
Peace SOS is a young and versatile initiative that dedicates itself wholeheartedly to peace, human rights, and the fight against poverty. A better, peaceful, and fair world for everyone—that’s what we all want, isn’t it?
We are deeply concerned about the most vulnerable people in the world. About those living in war zones—such as Syria, Yemen, and Iraq. We are concerned about the high number of refugees. Nearly 50 million children are currently displaced. We worry about child marriages and the fact that so many people still die of hunger.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a guiding principle for Peace SOS. It affirms, among other things, that all people are equal, and that everyone has the right to life, to freedom, and to a decent standard of living.
There is already enough food for everyone.
Ten times more is spent on weapons than on international aid. In 2010, global military spending amounted to 1,629 billion dollars, compared to just 130.5 billion dollars for international aid (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute).
