Right to Peace (R2P) is an organization of youths with the vision of a world where everyone will enjoy peace such that all human rights are promoted and protected and development is fully realized. Our Motto: "Freedom from Want, Freedom From Fear." Though the economy of Bangladesh has been growing over the past few years, the country has not been showing much progress in other social aspects. The country still has a lot of room for improvement, especially in the areas of human rights, sustainable development, and tolerance. The youth of Bangladesh can play a central role in this development. Unfortunately, the youths are currently unable to contribute as per their potential due to a lack of education and unemployment. However, there is no substitute for trained youth to promote human rights and ensure sustainable development in this country. In this context, R2P aims to ensure the right to peace of the people and to empower the country’s youths in the process as much as possible. The areas of R2P’s works include human rights, social justice and equality, democracy and good governance, and humanitarian assistance. R2P has taken up a five points program to bring about positive changes in society. These programs include research, awareness building and dialogue, capacity building and human development, advocacy and networking, and humanitarian support. The organization has already been praised for its many public awareness programs. Earlier in 2020, R2P launched an awareness-raising program on dengue with the slogan, ‘Dengue Mukto Dhaka Chai’ at Dhaka City Corporation. This program had an associated intervention of clothing distribution to the marginalized people of slum dwellers. The group also conducted a month-long humanitarian aid program under the heading “Ramadan Peace Campaign 2020” to stand by the lower and lower-middle-income families facing adverse effects due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus. Right to Peace has already made itself a promising platform for the youths of this country to enhance their knowledge and skill as well as engage in philanthropic activism. It has rendered both classroom facilities and volunteerism opportunities to the youths for developing professional knowledge and skills as well as leadership. R2P envisions to enable the youths of this country to reduce the gap between formal degrees and employability in this country. It upholds the principle of aligning the individual’s development to social progress.
