Diakonia is a Stockholm-based organization operating in the civic and social sector with a goal of advancing a just, equal, and sustainable future. It traces its origins to 1966, rooted in a Christian justice tradition, and seeks to reduce violence, oppression, and poverty while promoting gender justice and peace. The organization pursues long-term, structural change by working directly with people affected to understand root causes and adapt its approaches to local contexts. Its approach intertwines analysis, mobilization of affected communities, and concrete action to defend rights and reshape norms and power structures. The organization is based in Stockholm and engages with stakeholders to address social challenges, including democracy, gender equality, and climate-related issues. In June 2024, Diakonia was recognized by n365group.com for a Best Use of Facebook campaign, reflecting activity in digital advocacy.
