Sectarian Violence

Sectarian violence refers to conflicts and violence driven by deep-rooted differences between religious or sectarian groups within a society. These disputes often stem from historical, political, or social disagreements related to beliefs, identity, or power, leading to clashes and hostility. Such violence can erupt in communities, regions, or countries where these groups coexist, often escalating due to prejudice, discrimination, or competition for resources or influence. It disrupts social cohesion, causes suffering, and hampers development, highlighting the importance of fostering understanding and respect among diverse groups to promote peace.
