United Voices Movement
We have started a movement to convey the message that ‘dialogue to know each other’ is important to overcome division through dialogue, learn from each other, and avoid the worst-case scenario of conflict, in a world that advocates ‘overcoming division through dialogue, and helping and learning from each other’, and to break through the atmosphere of division that covers the world.
