After describing a number of forms of violence at the personal family social and political levels I will seek to determine their causes. Then I'll suggest a number of possible solutions particularly with regard to women and children and the fight against poverty. I will also make proposals for conflict resolution reconciliation respect for the environment justice and peace. Before explaining what exactly non-violence is and answering the question: Are religions peacemakers? We then move on to human rights the basis of peace and the solution to all forms of violence.
