Across the globe, communities like the Uyghurs, Hazaras, Tigrayans, Tamils, Tibetans, and Tutsis face genocide and mass atrocities. Canada must not look away.
The Alliance of Genocide Victim Communities (AGVC) is calling on all MPs and political leaders to take a clear stand and commit to:
✅ Targeted sanctions on perpetrators
✅ Criminal prosecutions under Canada’s War Crimes Act
✅ Safe resettlement for survivors
✅ A Special Envoy on Genocide Prevention
✅ Strong action against repression, disinformation, and forced labour
✅ Recognition of ongoing genocides—including those of Hazaras and Tigrayans
In the face of genocide, silence is complicity.
Let's make Canada a leader in justice. Sign our letter here

Echoes of Resilience: A Tapestry of Survival
Exploring the transformative power of art—moving from memory and reflection towards actionable change.
“Echoes of Resilience” serves as both a memorial and an educational beacon—an art collection that not only honors the painful histories of genocide but also celebrates the unyielding spirit and cultural richness of the Tigrayan, Uyghur, Hazara, Tamil, Tibetan and Tutsi communities.
This thoughtful synthesis of art and history is intended to inspire reflection, dialogue, and ultimately, hope for a future defined by understanding and unity.
