General Information

The Swedish Fellowship of Reconciliation (SweFOR) is a nonviolence movement that works for peace and justice. Our aim is a world free from violence, be it in the form of war, oppression or injustice. We are a part of IFOR - the International Fellowship of Reconciliation. We have a national board, a number of local groups, 14 staff in Sweden and 18 in Latin America, mostly on voluntary basis. Main partners are Swedish Muslims for Peace and Justice, Justapaz (Colombia), Clave (Colombia) and Sonad (Southern Sudan).

Mission and Objectives

In a world where people often react to conflict either by being passive or resorting to violence, we believe that there is a third way, the way of nonviolence. The Swedish Fellowship of Reconciliation has a long history of working for peace and reconciliation through active nonviolence. We are a Christian, ecumenical member-based organisation, that often work together with people of different faith. We bring people together in the hope of a new society – a world of peace and justice, where military might is disarmed and where conflicts are prevented by peaceful means. One of our contributions is being a presence in areas of conflict. We support local peace actors in various parts of the world in their work to strengthen human rights and build peace, through non-violent methods.

Main Projects / Activities

We give courses in nonviolence, conflict resolution and peaceful conflict management. We send volunteers to Guatemala, Mexico and Colombia, where they support local peace-building efforts and protect human rights defenders. We work for disarmament and improved control over the arms trade through codes of conduct, laws and regulations. We promote peace and reconciliation in the Middle East through advocacy work. SweFOR also analyses security and defence policy in Sweden and is pushing for world leaders to sign up to forceful disarmament agreements and to prevent violent conflict.
