We Care for Humanity’s Peace Caravan: When the World Divides, Peace Becomes Our Duty

Today, the world finds itself in a fragile and turbulent state. Global peacefulness continues to decline, with the latest Global Peace Index showing that wars, violence, and instability are at their highest levels in decades. In just the past year, nearly 60 conflicts have raged across the globe, taking more than 150,000 lives and displacing millions from their homes. From the war in Ukraine, which has left Europe “no longer at peace” with Russia, to the devastating humanitarian crises in Gaza and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the story is the same: violence outpaces resolution, and hope often feels distant.

Conflicts today do not end easily. Few conclude with decisive victories or negotiated settlements. Instead, they drag on, leaving nations scarred and people uprooted. Even peaceful demonstrations are not spared, as seen in Kashmir where gunfire recently shattered a rally meant to call for reconciliation. The overall picture is one of a world under siege, struggling with armed tensions, fractured politics, economic instability, and the growing pressures of climate change.

Yet in this dark time, rays of light still shine. One such light is the Peace Caravan of We Care for Humanity. Unlike traditional diplomacy, the Caravan moves with the power of culture, art, and spirituality. Composed of Buddhist performing artists from the Himalayan region-; Nepal, Bhutan, India, Cambodia, Vietnam, and beyond, the Peace Caravan travels across countries and continents carrying the torch of compassion, unity, and healing.

Guided by the vision of MAHA PUTRI (QUEEN) MARIAM, founder of We Care for Humanity, the Caravan spreads peace not through speeches or treaties, but through the universal language of music, dance, and meditation. Wherever it goes, from Asia to Latin America, the Caravan builds bridges between peoples, reminding communities that peace begins not in political halls, but in human hearts.

The Peace Caravan embodies a simple yet powerful truth: when people share culture, when they sing, dance, and reflect together, divisions soften and hope takes root. It is a moving reminder that in times when the world is torn apart, peace is not an abstract dream. It is a responsibility, lived out in actions both great and small.

As conflicts continue to challenge humanity, We Care for Humanity reaffirms its mission: to carry this caravan of peace further, touching more communities, and planting seeds of compassion in places where despair once grew. Because though the world is restless, peace is possible, and it begins with us.

Global Leaders and Advocates Converge for Highly Successful WCH Emergency Online Peace Forum, Unanimously Calling for Immediate Ceasefire & Peaceful Resolution Between Israel & Iran

In a powerful display of global unity and humanitarian urgency, We Care for Humanity (WCH) successfully convened its Emergency Online Peace Forum, drawing a distinguished assembly of international leaders, WCH members, and peace advocates from across the globe. The forum delivered a resounding, unified demand for an immediate ceasefire and peaceful resolution between Israel and Iran, echoing a collective resolve to prioritize human life over conflict.

The forum, initiated by Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura, Founder of We Care for Humanity (WCH), with assistance from Joseph Rivera, WCH Country Director in Qatar, saw impassioned pleas and actionable insights from a diverse roster of speakers, all committed to ending the cycle of violence.

Opening the forum, Queen Mariam Leonor Torres Mastura, the Convenor, delivered a compelling address that set the tone for the urgent dialogue. "We gather not just for a meeting, but for a critical intervention, to unite our powerful voices in an unwavering demand for an immediate ceasefire and peaceful resolution between Israel and Iran," Queen Maria declared. She lamented the current state of the world, "as if our world has not been beaten enough by the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, South Sudan, and the recent devastation in Gaza." Emphasizing the dire threat of nuclear weapons, she challenged the global community: "Must we forever be divided in the name of our countries, or can we finally work together as one humanity, one world? If we, as citizens of the world, do not take action and collectively intervene, we risk finding ourselves facing irreversible consequences."

Joseph Rivera, WCH Country Director for Qatar and Assistant Convener, spoke passionately on behalf of migrant workers, asserting that war "exacerbates economic instability, disrupts global livelihoods, and accelerates the climate crisis."
