SCIENTOLOGY NETWORK CALLS FOR GLOBAL ACTION ON INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

Scientology Network marks the United Nations International Day of Peace with a powerful marathon that highlights bold initiatives driving humanity toward a more just and peaceful future.

The urgency is undeniable. In 2024 alone, an estimated 120 million people were forcibly displaced by persecution, conflict, violence and human rights violations. Freedom in the World reports that political rights and civil liberties declined in 60 nations worldwide.

This year’s observance—established by the UN General Assembly in 1981 and held every September 21—rings louder than ever. With the theme “Act Now for a Peaceful World,” the marathon shines a spotlight on people and organizations taking real steps toward peace, dignity and human rights, including the global work of United for Human Rights. Their stories prove that every action matters—and that viewers themselves can play a role in building compassion and harmony in their own communities.

United for Human Rights, an international nonprofit dedicated to advancing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, works with educators, groups and individuals worldwide to make human rights a reality for all.

The International Day of Peace Marathon (beginning 8:00 a.m. ET) includes:

• Voices for Humanity, the only ongoing television series dedicated to those working to bring human rights to their countries and handle other major social ills;
• The Story of Human Rights film, a vivid look at the history of human rights, from their earliest roots to the present day;
• Documentary Showcase:
• Liyana, an award-winning film combining documentary and animation, where children in Eswatini transform their own experiences into a powerful tale that underscores the universal rights of children to safety, education and a voice in shaping their future.
• Under the Turban, a global journey that explores Sikh identity, celebrates freedom of belief and affirms every individual’s right to live with understanding and respect.
