Education and awareness:united to end genocide, inc. educates the public about crises - such as sudan, syria, burma and d.r. Congo - where innocent civilians' lives are threatened by potential mass atrocity or violence.

We assist this broad and diverse anti-genocide movement in sponsoring public events such as rallies and press conferences, writing letters to the editors of local papers, and calling and emailing elected officials, among other activities. We provide activities with regular policy updates, materials such as brochures and posters, and staff support, as well as occasional small grants to assist them in undertaking advocacy activities.
Policy and government relations:united to end genocide, inc. works to ensure that elected leaders are knowledgeable about policies helpful to the people of genocide or mass atrocities worldwide. We also raised awarness among policymakers of precursors to genocide and mass atrocities including how violence against women is used as a weapon. We engage with the un, other international bodies, and foreign governments to urge action to end crises threatening innocent civilians' lives. We work with an array of partner organizations in europe, africa and the middle east, and we provide support and training to civil society groups.
