The Department of Social Work, University of Peshawar has organized a One Day National Conference on the subject theme. Although the prevalent narrative is to link religion with promoting violence, the purpose of this conference is to explore the power of religion in promoting peace and countering violent extremism as we believe that the religiously induced violence can be countered through religiously based peace activities.
