Permanent Peace Movement (PPM).
The mission of the Permanent Peace Movement (PPM) is to nurture and spread a culture of peace through Lebanon and the wider region. PPM promotes the transformation of conflict through training, advocacy and dialogue. The main activities of PPM currently focus on conflict resolution and non-violence training, children’s rights, and social and economic empowerment.
Stop Child Soldiers
As part of the International Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers, PPM launched the Stop Child Soldiers project with the aim of raising awareness of the use of child soldiers in Lebanon and across the Middle East and North Africa. Along with awareness raising initiatives, PPM campaigns for the adoption and implementation of aspects of the Convention on the Rights of the Child that deal with the involvement of children in armed conflicts.
