Collaborate with civil society organizations, universities, and government agencies worldwide to amplify the message and mobilize support.

Lobby for the redirection of military budgets towards critical social sectors such as education, healthcare, social welfare, and infrastructure.

Disseminate research findings through academic publications, policy briefs, and multimedia platforms to inform public discourse and shape evidence-based policy-making.

Equip them with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to advocate effectively for peace, human rights, and social justice within their communities.
Conclusion:
Through strategic collaboration with the University of Dhaka and the International Peace Bureau, CGS endeavors to ignite a global movement for peace and human rights. By challenging the status quo of excessive military spending and advocating for alternative approaches to conflict resolution and resource allocation, we envision a world where peace, justice, and dignity prevail universally.
Collaboration with the University of Dhaka sounds good. Thanks for sharing!
