Pax Christi Netherlands

Pax Christi is an international movement for peace and reconciliation, non-violence and human rights. Pax Christi Netherlands is part of the international movement Pax Christi International. High priorities are placed on peace education and the promotion of a peace culture in Dutch society. In cooperation with the NCRV (a Dutch broadcasting organisation), Pax Christi helped set up the community radio station ‘Radio Voice of Hope’ in Southern Sudan. The radio’s objective is to promote peace and reconciliation among the conflicting groups in South Sudan, promote South Sudanese languages and positive traditional values and cultures. Moreover, the project focusses on education and development, to assert self-confidence in the people so as to make them self-reliant, and promotes human rights education and the rule of law in the area.
