Hebras de Paz Project
Hebras de paz (strands of peace) are those acts, mostly small and almost imperceptible but sometimes challenging and even heroic, which, in times or situations marked by horror, terror, lethal violence or flagrant injustices, tend a hand to help or save people threatened or who suffer abuse and humiliation because they are considered enemies or outsiders. These acts skip the rules and regulations of the group that demands obedience and respond to selfless motives.
The Strands of peace are only a small part, but very special, of the Living Peace or Positive Peace, that is, of the great mesh of linkages that human beings establish to support each other. The meaning of the concept of Strands of living peace refers to the strands that remain acting as bridges of life of a weaving fabric when it seems that that fabric has been torn by violence.
