Announcement of the GNRC Sixth Forum

On behalf of Arigatou International and the Global Network of Religions for Children (GNRC), I am pleased to announce that the GNRC Sixth Forum will be convened from November 19 – 21, 2024 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The Forum will be hosted by our partners, the Interfaith Alliance for Safer Communities.

The GNRC was inaugurated in 2000 by my father, the late Rev. Takeyasu Miyamoto, out of his strong conviction that it is the moral responsibility of people of all faiths to protect the lives of children and ensure their safe and sound development. He proposed that people of every faith and religion join hands and work together, regardless of differences, to build a better world for children.

Hope for Children in a World in Crisis

Over the last six years, GNRC members and partners worldwide have worked tirelessly to fulfil the 2017 GNRC Fifth Forum 10 Panama Commitments on Ending Violence Against Children.

Thousands of children have had their lives transformed at the grassroots level by the efforts of hundreds of GNRC members across 75 countries.

Even as this transformation takes place, new challenges have emerged. Not since World War II has there been a time like today, when so many children are directly targeted for harm, or caught in harm’s way.

The statistics are horrifying and deeply distressing.

Mustafa Y. Ali (PhD) Secretary General of the Global Network of Religions for Children (GNRC) Director, Arigatou International – Nairobi
