What World Conference of Religions for Peace Inc does
Mission
Religions for peace (rfp) advances common action among the world's religious communities for peace. Multi-religious cooperation for peace and shared well-being is the hallmark of rfp. This cooperation includes but also goes beyond dialogue and bears fruit in common concrete action. Through rfp, diverse religious communities discern "deeply held and widely shared" moral concerns, such as violent conflict; gender inequality; environmental degradation; threats to the freedom of thought, conscience and religion; lack of interreligious understanding; and the shrinking space for civil society and multilateralism. Rfp translates these shared concerns into concrete multi-religious action.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Nurture a sustainable environment - religious communities recognize the dynamic inter-relationship and dependency between all forms of life, which has also been substantiated by modern service. Religions for peace works to ensure that multi-religious collaboration is geared towards nurturing a sustainable environment for all living species. This work includes working to protect and restore the planet's vital ecosystem, e.g. The interfaith rainforest initiative that protects the world's remaining rainforests and the indigenous peoples who serve as their guardian.

Advanced gender equality -equality for women and girls is a foundation for securing a more peaceful and inclusive world for all people. Throughout history, women disproportionately suffer the consequences of violent conflict, poverty, and restrictions on their freedoms. They are the focal point of so many difficulties that they are also the first to respond in situations of social and political unrest. Many women are motivated and strengthened by their faith, yet their stories,knowledge, and expertise are seldom recognized in newsrooms and chambers of government alike. Because of this, religions for peace will continue to illuminate the necessary role of women in shaping the world and responding to crises. Religions for peace will also continue to equip faith-inspired women,men, youth, with knowledge and analysis, connectivity and narratives, linking religions to peace and security, sustainable development, and human rights.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
