Gill has taken part in events promoting peace at all levels around the world - from classroom debates and community gatherings to national and international forums and numerous media appearances.

We've made two short films with Gill to mark the UN Day of Peace which have been seen by thousands of people around the world and profiled on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

“There are many courageous people risking their lives around the world to create peace in their community – they, like me believe passionately that one individual can make a difference, that peace is possible and each and every one of us has the power to make it possible. Peace starts with you.”
Gill Hicks
