The PWR United Nations Task Force regularly partners with a range interfaith, faith-based and advocacy-focused NGOs to facilitate parallel and side-events to annual United Nations Activities, working closely with the committee of Religious NGOs.
The Parliament of the World's Religions invites UN officials to present at our international convenings, especially in the areas of gender equity, climate action, atrocity crimes, violence and sectarian extremism, genocide, and nuclear proliferation.
The Task Force is comprised of members of the Parliament of the World's Religions Board of Trustees and our Youth Representatives, one of which has had the honor of delivering a keynote address during World Interfaith Harmony Week.
