Educate
Read up on the background of the conflict in Darfur and find out what's going on right now. Browse expert reports on the situation and take a look at multimedia, including a GI-Net video on YouTube that you are free to use for your own events.
In the twentieth century, over 40,000,000 people died as a result of genocides. In the first years of the twenty-first century, more than 450,000 innocent civilians have been killed by genocidal violence. It is time for the international community to stand up and pay attention to the genocide in Darfur and, more importantly, to the reoccurring problem of genocide in our world today.
Educating yourself and your community is the first step toward creating a world in which the global community is willing and able to protect the victims of genocidal crises.
