Beginning with local weekend training for youth and an international journal, IGINP has grown into a global hub for ideas and strategies rooted in nonviolence. Guided by the leadership of Rajagopal P.V. and Jill Carr-Harris, IGINP has spearheaded numerous impactful initiatives, including the Jai Jagat campaign, the 2016 International Women’s Meet, the Intercontinental March for Peace and Justice, and the Peace Builders Forum in India.

Intercontinental March for Peace and Justice The Intercontinental March for Peace and Justice was a historic initiative that united people from different cultural, social, and geographical backgrounds in a shared vision for transformative, nonviolent change. This monumental effort saw participants walking together across countries and regions, embodying the Gandhian philosophy of peaceful resistance. The march highlighted critical issues such as war, economic exploitation, and environmental degradation, urging collective action for global harmony. By mobilizing diverse groups, it demonstrated the power of solidarity and the enduring relevance of nonviolence in addressing contemporary global crises.

THE NONVIOLENT ECONOMY NETWORK

The Nonviolence Economy Network is a transformative initiative dedicated to reshaping economic systems to prioritize equity, sustainability, and harmony over protest-driven models. Rooted in Gandhian principles, this network fosters collaboration among businesses, cooperatives, civil society organizations, and individuals committed to ethical and nonviolent economic practices.

The network promotes sustainable livelihoods by encouraging environmentally conscious production methods, fair trade, and social entrepreneurship. It seeks to challenge exploitative systems by advocating for policies and practices that empower marginalized communities, ensuring equitable resource distribution and dignified livelihoods for all.

Through workshops, campaigns, and partnerships, the Nonviolence Economy Network inspires alternative economic thinking, emphasizing the interconnectedness of people and nature. By aligning economic activities with principles of justice and compassion, it strives to build a global community where human and ecological well-being take precedence over material gains.

"An economic system that does not take into account the welfare of the weakest is a violent system."
