*Genocide Intervention Network*
The Genocide Intervention Network's mission is to empower individuals
and communities with the tools to prevent and stop genocide and mass
atrocities.
Our current focus is on ending the ongoing violence in Darfur, Sudan
which has killed up to 400,000 innocent civilians and displaced 2.5
million. The Genocide Intervention Network is home to STAND, a student
anti-genocide network with over 700 chapters, as well as the Sudan
Divestment Taskforce, a key player in the divestment movement which has
now resulted in 20 states and 55 universities divesting holdings in
companies operating in Sudan. We also work on a range of projects in
North Darfur to protect women while collecting firewood. Beyond Darfur,
we are preparing to engage in other conflict areas involving large-scale
violence against civilians.
