Nobel Peace Prize laureate Tawakkol Karman is heading to Rome at the invitation of Pope Francis of the Vatican to participate in the upcoming "World Meeting on Human Fraternity" from May 10-11, 2024.

The World Meeting on Human Fraternity serves as a platform for dialogue and collaboration, aiming to inspire individuals and communities to embrace the values of understanding, compassion, and solidarity. With the participation of influential figures like Tawakkol Karman and Pope Francis, the event promises to generate meaningful discussions and inspire concrete actions towards building a more just and peaceful world.
