Veronica Sabbag
Founder and Chair of United Voices 4 Peace
For over 20 years, Veronica Sabbag served in various positions within the European Union forging experience in conflict management, defense, and security. Her time there has led to an expertise in dealing with some of the most challenging global conflicts. She’s experienced some of the most war-torn places in the world. And after having witnessed tragic events, she wanted to play a role in creating impactful change herself.

That’s how she came to found United Voices 4 Peace, an organization rooted in making the world a better place by bringing artists together and creating a culture of peace rather than of opposing cultures. It’s intended to bring people from clashing backgrounds together to celebrate a common passion through means of artistic expression. Through this initiative, she’s fostered many different intercultural exchanges and enabled collaborative art projects.
“Peace for me is creation. It goes beyond the absence of war. It’s also about creating beautiful things for your inner peace and then communicating it to the world.”
“Music is a language in which we can fully express what we feel inside. It reaches places that diplomacy or politics cannot. As a music lover, I decided to use this language to convey meaningful messages in order to change the way we listen to each other, believing it will ultimately improve our mutual understanding.”

Founder and Director of Freedom Restoration Project
Sia Kukaewkasem, a survivor of domestic violence and clinical social worker, heads the Freedom Restoration Project (FRP) in Mae Sot, Thailand. Through FRP, Sia challenges the narrative of abuse and gender-based violence in marginalized border communities. FRP offers more than physical safety—it provides an emotional refuge, a place where migrant women can heal, draw strength from their vulnerability, and transform their fear into freedom. Her life goal is to help people experience healing and for them to recognize the power of their own voice and story.
“Stress and poverty increased a lot among migrants during the pandemic… We say, ‘stay home and be safe,’ but what if home is where she feels unsafe?”
“Group therapy is powerful not because of the counselor, but because of the people in the group who have been through the same thing.”
