Nothing in the world of nonviolence, protection from violence and transformative change is achieved alone or in isolation. Not only am I thankful for the people who have helped bring this book into existence but I am also grateful for the huge number of people I have learnt from, worked with and the projects that are doing exciting and inspiring work.
Unarmed civilian protection (UCP), which you’ve been reading so much about, has a long and rich history and is constantly evolving and growing. For those seeking to learn more about UCP, this chapter sets out some relevant resources and websites.
UCP has its own eco-system involving organizations and communities that practise UCP all over the world, including training, advocacy, research, supporter organizations and networks. They all do a lot with limited resources, and they would be very grateful for any help that can be provided. Follow your interests from the following websites.
