Location: SFCG Headquarters (DC) Summary: The Partners in Humanity program is designed to address feelings of mutual fear and
suspicion between the West - especially the United States - and the Muslim
world that have arisen because of perceived and real injustices, extreme
inequality in political and economic opportunity, and pervasive stereotyping.
To improve perceptions, and promote understanding and communication between the
Muslim world and the West, Partners in Humanity seeks to cultivate a sense of
shared destiny and serve as a catalyst for Muslim-Western partnerships that
reflect mutual respect, a shared commitment to addressing problems and meeting
needs, and an ongoing process of mutual learning and challenging of
stereotypes. We believe this attitude and approach reflect the most effective
means for creating long-term progress and security. [More]
