Goal 16 aims to foster peaceful and inclusive societies, ensure justice for all, and establish effective, transparent, and inclusive institutions at every level. It seeks to create an environment where people, regardless of their ethnicity, faith, or sexual orientation, can live free from fear and feel safe in their daily lives, free from violence.
