bringing positive change
Founded in response to the horrors of war in Europe, the IFOR has taken a consistent stance against war and its preparation throughout its history.
Fellowship of Reconciliation is a global movement founded in 1914 to support the rights of conscience in resistance to war and military conscription.
Our members share a vision of a world where conflicts are resolved through nonviolent means, where systems that foster fear and hatred are dismantled, and where justice is sought as a basis for peace. While coming from diverse religious backgrounds, we have a common belief in the transforming power of nonviolence and reconciliation.
We have extensive working relationships with like-minded non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society initiatives. Our over 100 years of expertise in active nonviolence is recognized and respected by these NGOs and many others.
