How Do You Help Stop Genocide In Darfur?
Genocide has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in the Darfur region and left thousands of people homeless. In 2006, the U.S. Congress passed the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act that enlists the International Criminal Court to prosecute war crimes committed against citizens, activists, aid workers and journalists. Though the violence continues, individuals can do their part to bring peace to the region. Keep informed about recent developments by subscribing to email alerts sent by partner groups listed on the Save Darfur website. Each group offers a unique approach to ending genocide in Darfur.
