From Bosnia to Kenya to Mexico and India, in this session, participants meet grassroots peacebuilders who are working to build a world of compassion, peace, and justice. United Religions Initiative is a global network that exists to bridge differences between people of all beliefs, create community, and solve local and global challenges. From Uganda, participants hear from the URI Regional Coordinator of Great Lakes, Despina Namwembe, about the ways that religious leaders and communities are supporting women who have been victims of domestic violence.
