Modern conflict often links back to inequality. If people perceive that they are unfairly blocked from opportunities for a good life, their frustrations can channel into violence. Examples include struggles around colonialism, elitism, gender inequality, age hierarchies, racial exclusion, religious discrimination, disability rights, and more. Does current backsliding on diversity, equity and inclusion increase obstacles to peace? If so, what can be done to reaffirm the importance of equality for peace?
