True peace means dignity, safety & freedom from fear. 🕊️

Here’s what the new #SDG16 Global Report reveals 👇

Young people & marginalised groups are too often spoken about, not with.

Hanah Lahe (MP, Estonia) stressed that real #inclusion means moving beyond symbolism – lowering voting ages, investing in youth changemakers, and using digital tools to rebuild trust.
