Preserving Memory
One of our core missions is to ensure that the memory of the genocide and its victims is never forgotten. We organize memorial events, both in the U.S. and globally, to honor those who were lost. These events serve as powerful reminders of the past and reinforce the importance of collective memory in preventing future atrocities. We believe that by keeping the stories of survivors and victims alive, we create a legacy that fosters reflection and understanding across generations.
Safe Space and Community Support for Survivors
Supporting Survivors
Ibuka USA strive to provide much-needed support for genocide survivors, many of whom continue to face emotional, psychological, and financial challenges. As new organization, we are gathering resources to offer access to resources for mental health counseling, financial aid, and community building.
Our goal is to create a strong network of survivors who can support each other while also connecting them to the broader community of allies and advocates. We stand in solidarity with survivors worldwide, amplifying their voices and ensuring their stories are heard.
Advocating for Justice
We actively advocate for justice and accountability for the atrocities committed during the genocide. This includes promoting legal action against perpetrators, raising awareness about the ongoing impacts of genocide, and ensuring that global leaders remain vigilant against hate and division. Justice for survivors is central to our mission, and we work alongside partners in the U.S. and internationally to push for legal recognition and reparations.
Education for Prevention
Education is a key component of our work at Ibuka USA. We engage in public awareness campaigns, organize educational events, and collaborate with schools, universities, and organizations to teach about the dangers of hate, intolerance, and division. Through workshops, lectures, and storytelling, we help ensure that future generations understand the consequences of genocide and the importance of promoting peace and unity. Our education programs are aimed at fostering empathy and preventing genocide and mass atrocities in the future.
