This world map was drawn by Zina Chmielowski for the "Dreams of Hope Travel Guide" of Navjot Kaur & published by Saffron Press to "inspire our little ones to travel to peace monuments around the world." Saffron Press is (or was?) "an independent multicultural publishing house -- with a special focus on children's books by & about Sikhs -- [and] takes you on a journey beyond the traditional." "The word 'goodnight' is shown in different languages on the map. The 18 "Monuments of Peace" numbered on the map & named in the column on the right side are the following [with locations added]:1.Sadako Peace Park, University of Washington [Seattle, Washington, USA]
2.Shrine Peace Monument [Toronto, Ontario, Canada]

4.John Lennon Park [Havana, Cuba]
5.The Bandeiras Monument [São Paulo, Brazil]
6.London Peace Pagoda [London, England]
7.Human Rights Monument [Murcia, Spain] - includes mothers with a child & a baby
8.The Children of the World Dream of Peace [Nordkapp, Norway] - has plaques designed by children
9.Broken Heart Monument [Lodz, Poland] - commemorates children's martyrdom in the Holocaust
10.Pillar of Peace Sculpture [Gulu, Uganda] - shows children reading books
11.Uhuru Monument [Nairobi, Kenya]

18.This page ("Peace Monuments by Nation") helps you access separate files for peace monuments in large nations collective files for large areas of relatively small countries (e.g. Africa). These files show WHERE peace monuments are around the world.
I like the imaginative map of Zina Chmielowski & Navjot Kaur. It combines a knowledge of peace monuments with a sense of geography & a desire to raise children with an appreciation of human diversity & non-violence. This web site pursues some of the same goals. Only we have tried to find & display ALL peace monuments around the world.
Our geographic web pages show approximately 3,300 peace monuments. Of course some countries & regions have more monuments, and some have less (however you "normalize' the data by area or population). This is probably due to so many reasons that more research is required, and I wouldn't even want to speculate here.
But this web site undoubtedly has a cultural bias. The first language of its compiler is English, he can easily overlook web page in other languages, and the Internet is probably longer & more deeply established in Western nations.
