April is Genocide Prevention month in US
The month of April is Genocide Prevention month in the United States. It marks the anniversaries of six major genocides around the world, including Darfur, Bosnia, Rwanda, Cambodia, the Holocaust and Armenian Genocide.
More than 50 of the world's leading humanitarian organizations have joined together to launch a public awareness and education campaign during the month of April.
Jill Savitt, organizer of "Genocide Prevention Month" told the groups hope their advocacy would prevent future genocides, VOA News reports.
"What we want the month to show is that there is a support among genocide survivors to try and prevent such crimes from happening by rallying support from the international community," she said.
