Global Peace Summit Kurdistan 2019

Held in the historic halls of the Kurdistan Parliament, Global Peace Summit Kurdistan 2019 united passionate young minds from various nations to unpack the layers of modern conflict and social injustice. The event examined the powerful link between women, peace, and security, as well as how religion, when misused, can fuel oppression and violence. Participants tackled difficult topics such as human trafficking, media bias, and the evolving threats of Fifth Generation Warfare. Moreover, through critical sessions and open dialogue, the summit emphasised how youth can serve as both analysts and change makers in an increasingly polarized world. Cultural performances and ice-breaking activities further enriched the environment, encouraging mutual respect. Discussions were not confined to theory but extended to building actionable strategies for tackling misinformation, protecting vulnerable populations, and understanding the roots of global instability. By the summit’s conclusion, participants had not only explored key issues but also developed tangible insights to influence peace-oriented action within their communities.
