Manifest of Peace
A global initiative combining lived experience, and professional expertise
The Manifest of Peace is not intended to be read from beginning to end like a traditional book. It is structured into eight distinct sections, with each chapter designed to stand on its own and be read independently.
This approach allows you to go directly to the topics that are most relevant to your situation or that of a loved one. Whether you are facing domestic violence, psychological manipulation, institutional failure, recovery, awareness, or another significant life challenge, you do not need to read the entire Manifest to find valuable insights, recognition, and support.
The Manifest is designed as a practical source of understanding, support, knowledge, and hope. You can read what is most relevant to you at this moment, at your own pace and according to your own needs. In this way, it serves as an accessible resource for anyone experiencing insecurity, injustice, or a journey toward recovery, justice, and peace.
Manifest of Peace
Manifest of Peace was created from a deep conviction: that peace is not merely the absence of violence, but the presence of safety, dignity, and equality for everyone. Across the world, people are confronted with domestic violence, institutional blindness, and systems that fail precisely where protection is needed most. Too often, these stories remain invisible, ignored, or minimized.
Manifest of Peace seeks to change that.
We believe that true peace begins with breaking silence, with acknowledging pain, revealing patterns, and mobilizing people who refuse to look away. Our movement stands for loving determination, courageous action, and the right of every human being to live free from violence and fear.
On this page, you will find tools you can use immediately to contribute to global awareness and international pressure.
We offer downloadable letters that you can personalize and submit to UN bodies, ombuds institutions, human rights commissions, and other authorities. Together, we create a worldwide wave of reports that can no longer be ignored.
Why does this matter?
Because peace is not an abstract ideal, it is a daily responsibility.
Because protection should never be a privilege, but a universal right.
Because change begins when ordinary people decide to no longer remain silent.
Manifest of Peace is more than an initiative.
It is a movement.
An invitation.
A promise to everyone who has ever been made invisible.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for taking part.
Together, we build a world where peace is not only spoken, but lived.
With love, hope and faith,
Team Manifest of Peace
Letter Municipalities gender equality Istanbul Convention
In a world where equality is still far from guaranteed, small actions can make a big difference. This letter was created to give you the opportunity to contribute, in a simple, loving, and effective way – to a safer and more just society for everyone.
You can download the letter below, personalise it with your name and your municipality, and then submit it directly online to your local council or alderman, no printing, no hassle. It only takes a few minutes, yet its impact can last for years.
This is incredibly important because municipalities play a key role in promoting gender equality, protecting women, girls, and other gender identities, and implementing the Istanbul Convention, which provides protection against domestic and gender based violence. By raising your voice, you help strengthen policies that place safety, respect, and equality at the centre.
Together, we can encourage our municipalities to act with more awareness, courage, and humanity.
Together, we can contribute to a world that is not only safer, but also softer, fairer, and more loving.
Thank you for taking part.
Change begins with one person deciding to act, and today, that person is you.
Your action truly matters.
Together we stand strong.
Letter structural failure to protect victims of violence worldwide
Downloadable letter for worldwide submission to UN bodies, ombuds institutions, and human rights organizations.
In many countries, victims of domestic violence are still not adequately protected. Reports are not taken seriously, investigations are delayed or never carried out, and support systems fail. When long‑term abuse leads to severe psychological harm or even suicide, it is not only a personal tragedie, it is a structural failure of the systems that are meant to protect people.
That is why we have created a letter that anyone in the world can download, personalize, and submit to relevant institutions: UN bodies, national ombuds offices, human rights commissions, NGOs, and other oversight organizations.
The goal is simple yet powerful: to create a global wave of reports that can no longer be ignored.
You can download the letter below, fill in your name and country, and submit it digitally to the organization you believe is appropriate. It only takes a few minutes, but your voice can contribute to international awareness, investigation, and pressure on governments to uphold their human rights obligations.
Why is this important?
Because no one should die from violence that could have been prevented.
Because protection should never be a privilege, it is a right.
Because silence keeps systems in place, and collective action can break them open.
Together, we can show that these problems are not isolated, but structural.
Together, we can ensure that victims are no longer invisible.
Together, we can build a world where safety, dignity, and equality are at the center.
Thank you for taking part.
Your voice matters.
Your action makes a difference.
And together, we are stronger than any system.
Support Manifest of Peace
Rainbow Ribbon Worldwide is an international movement for love, courageous change, global awareness, connection, worldwide justice, and world peace.
We stand with people affected by violence, coercive control, sexual violence, human trafficking, and other forms of injustice that often remain unseen and unheard.
Through awareness, truth, compassion, and collective action, we aim to create a safer and more loving world where every person has the right to dignity, protection, and hope.
Love should never hurt.
Our movement brings together compassionate people from all walks of life who have been affected, directly or indirectly, by violence, abuse, injustice, and suffering. We recognize that domestic violence is often one of the root causes of many forms of trauma, creating cycles of fear, chaos, abuse, and suffering that can affect both victims and perpetrators throughout their lives.
At the heart of our work lies one fundamental driving force: the protection of the children of our future.
When children are exposed to trauma, neglect, violence, or chronic insecurity during their formative years, they become more vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, unhealthy relationships, coercive control, sextortion, and other forms of victimization later in life. This vulnerability is not a matter of choice. It is often the consequence of growing up without the safety, stability, and emotional foundations that every child deserves.
This is why Rainbow Ribbon Worldwide focuses on raising awareness of coercive control, intimate terrorism, sexual violence, human trafficking, and other forms of injustice that remain far too prevalent, yet far too invisible, in today’s world.
We believe that meaningful change begins by bringing hidden realities into the light, acknowledging lived experiences, challenging failing systems, and building a more compassionate world in which every person has the right to safety, dignity, protection, and equal human worth.
The Heart of the Movement
Rainbow Ribbon Worldwide is built on one simple belief:
Love should never hurt another living being.
The red heart at the center of our movement connects people across borders, languages, cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds.
It symbolizes humanity, compassion, hope, courage, and the conviction that no one should ever have to live in fear, isolation, exclusion, or silence.
It reminds us that, despite our differences, our shared humanity is greater than anything that divides us.
The Six Colors of Rainbow Ribbon Worldwide
Each color represents an important theme within our movement.
Rather than using a traditional rainbow, we created a new symbolic rainbow inspired by internationally recognized awareness ribbons. Each color carries its own message while together forming one united vision of awareness, protection, healing, justice, and worldwide peace.
Orange
Love, courageous change, worldwide awareness, international justice, and world peace.
Orange also reflects our support for the UN Women campaign Orange the World, which raises global awareness about violence against women and girls.
Purple
Awareness of domestic violence, coercive control, intimate terrorism, and related forms of abuse.
Turquoise
Awareness of sexual violence and the importance of protection, prevention, healing, and justice for survivors worldwide.
Off-White
Awareness of invisible victims, including victims of drug-facilitated abuse and others whose suffering often goes unseen.
Yellow
Awareness of suicide prevention, particularly where trauma, coercive control, or abuse may be contributing factors, as well as remembrance and support for victims of war and armed conflict.
Royal Blue
Awareness of human trafficking, exploitation, and modern forms of slavery affecting millions around the world.
The Red Heart
The red heart represents love, connection, healing, compassion, and a world free from violence.
It also honors and includes all victims whose experiences may not be represented within the other six colors. It stands for inclusion, recognition, and dignity for every individual whose suffering deserves to be seen and acknowledged.
🕊 Our Mission
Rainbow Ribbon Worldwide aims to contribute to a world where:
Victims are seen, heard, and believed.
Violence, abuse, and exploitation no longer remain hidden.
Awareness leads to meaningful action and lasting change.
Truth, accountability, and justice are given the space to emerge.
People around the world are protected from violence, oppression, and harm.
Systems are inspired and challenged to evolve through compassion, humanity, responsibility, and respect for all living beings.
One Ribbon, One Voice, Worldwide
Together, the six colors create a new rainbow: a rainbow of real-life stories, resilience, healing, hope, and courage.
It is a symbol that encourages us to challenge harmful systems, strengthen communities, increase global awareness, promote justice, and contribute to a more peaceful world.
It is a symbol for everyone who has ever been made invisible.
It is a symbol for everyone who believes that love, truth, humanity, and connection are ultimately stronger than fear, division, hatred, and violence.
We believe in bringing people together worldwide.
We believe in organizing knowledge, connecting facts, creating structure where there is chaos, and transforming awareness into action.
We believe in solidarity that transcends borders.
We believe in promoting peace, strengthening connection, and fostering a world in which people care for one another rather than turn away from suffering.
Above all, we believe in creating a safer, more compassionate world for future generations,
because peace is not merely the absence of conflict.
Peace is the presence of safety, dignity, justice, truth, and love.
Together, we are building a world where peace is not only spoken about, but truly lived.
Rainbow Ribbon Worldwide represents that vision at a single glance.
One Ribbon.
One Voice.
Worldwide.
Because until all of us are free, none of us are truly free.
We are one.
