Peace People

Peace People (PP, aussi connu comme Community of the Peace People, Northern Ireland Peace People, Women's Peace Movement) est un mouvement pacifiste pendant le conflit nord-irlandais.

En août 1976, un membre de l'IRA provisoire est abattu à Belfast par l'armée britannique au volant de sa voiture. Son véhicule, hors de contrôle, écrase trois enfants (Joanne, 9 ans, John, 2 ans et Andrew, 6 semaines, Maguire). Suite à cet événement, la tante de ces enfants, Mairead Corrigan, Ciaran McKeown et Betty Williams lancent un mouvement pacifiste, le Peace People[1],[2]. Mairead Corrigan et Betty Williams reçoivent le Prix Nobel de la paix 1976 le 10 décembre 1977[3].

Peace People organise différentes activités destinées aux jeunes[4].
