Standing for justice. Building resilience. Creating hope.

Genocide leaves deep scars—not only on survivors but on the world we share. Families are torn apart, cultures are silenced, and generations are left struggling to heal. Yet from these places of pain, survivors are rising to build resilience, seek justice, and create spaces of healing and hope.

The Alliance of Genocide Victim Communities (AGVC) exists to support this work. We bring together survivors, advocates, and allies to:

Amplify survivor voices so their stories are never forgotten.
Push for justice and accountability to prevent future atrocities.
Create cultural and educational programs that inspire awareness and understanding.
Provide spaces of healing and solidarity that strengthen individuals, families, and communities.

Your support makes this possible. By giving today—whether once or monthly—you become a partner in resilience and a voice for justice.

AGVC is formed by survivors and descendants from eight communities—Uyghur, Tigray, Hazara, Tamil, Tutsi, Tibetan, Yazidi, and Rohingya—but our mission is one that belongs to everyone.

Together, with allies like you, we can rise against hate and build a future rooted in dignity, justice, and hope.

💙 Your gift helps strengthen lives

and communities. Together, we rise.

Across the globe, communities like the Uyghurs, Hazaras, Tamils, Tigrayans, 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.

Not Forgotten: Genocide and Creative Resistance

In a moving gathering of art, testimony, and solidarity, this event brought together survivors, artists, and advocates to resist suppression and amplify stories of resilience across multiple communities. Through poetry, song, visual art, and personal narratives, the event honoured the lived experiences of those impacted by genocide and underscored the enduring power of culture as resistance.

Participants from Rohingya, Hazara, Tibetan, Uyghur, and Tigrayan communities shared testimony of loss, survival, and unyielding hope. A special focus of the program was the commemoration of September 25 as Hazara Genocide Memorial Day, affirming the Canadian parliamentary recommendation and calling for full recognition of the Hazara genocide.

Political and academic voices emphasized that recognition must be matched by action—and that art, memory, and creativity are essential tools in the struggle for justice.

Creative Resistance advanced AGVC’s mission by:

Awareness: making visible experiences too often silenced or dismissed
Education: deepening public understanding of genocide as an ongoing, lived reality
Accountability: strengthening calls for institutional, legal, and political responses

We invite you to flip through photos of the event. Video excerpts will be available soon. Join us in amplifying these voices of courage.

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.

The Alliance of Genocide Victim Communities (AGVC) is dedicated to preventing and ending genocide through a multifaceted approach that includes awareness raising, advocacy, justice and accountability, education, and evidence collection and documentation.

We envision a world where genocide is no longer a threat, and where all people can live in peace, dignity, and freedom.

To achieve our goals, we will:

Raise awareness about the reality and consequences of genocide, and the urgent need to prevent and respond to it.

Tenir les auteurs de génocide responsables de leurs crimes et demander justice pour les victimes et les survivants

Educate the public about the history and dynamics of genocide, and empower individuals and communities to take action to prevent it.

Célébrer l'existence continue du peuple et de la culture de chaque communauté victime de génocide.

Plaider en faveur de politiques cohérentes et homogènes en matière de droits de l'homme au Canada et collaborer avec les décideurs politiques afin de garantir la protection et la promotion des droits de l'homme tant au niveau national qu'international.

Travailler à la prévention de génocides en identifiant et en traitant les causes profondes de la violence et de la discrimination, et en promouvant la tolérance, la diversité et l'inclusion.

Recueillir et documenter les preves de génocide, et utiliser ces preuves pour soutenir les procédures judiciaires, les efforts de plaidoyer et les campagnes de sensibilisation du public.

L'Alliance des communautés de victimes de génocide s'engage à construire un mouvement fort, diversifié, pacifique et inclusif pour prévenir et mettre fin aux génocides et pour s'assurer que les voix des survivants et des victimes sont entendues et respectées.
