abstract="Today millions of children are trapped in situations of war, conflict, violence and displacement. Science shows that violence has a detrimental effect on the development of young children. It, also, heralds in a new era, with opportunities to contribute to sustaining peace and prevention of violence, through investment in early childhood development. The commentary argues that we have every opportunity to make a transformative shift and raise the voice of science to join the voice of &quot;we the peoples...&quot; The voice of &quot;we the peoples&quot; to stop war and violence in the world, promoting &quot;a Culture of Peace,&quot; adhering to the principles of freedom, justice, tolerance, and advancing the concept of Global Citizenship, is clear. It is amplified by the historic adoption of the &quot;2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development&quot; and the &quot;Sustaining Peace Resolutions,&quot; calling on every member of society to participate in peacebuilding and development efforts. The promise of the Early Childhood Peace Consortium (ECPC) is to join forces by creating a global movement to build more peaceful homes and societies, drawing on the experience of early childhood development and the transformative power of children and families.<br><br>© 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
