*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.
