Bring Survivor Voices to Your Community

Powerful speakers. Lived experience. Lasting impact.

The Alliance of Genocide Victim Communities (AGVC) connects schools, universities, workplaces, faith communities, governments, and community organizations with speakers whose lives have been shaped by genocide, displacement, human rights advocacy, and resilience.

Our speakers include genocide survivors, human rights defenders, educators, filmmakers, legal experts, mental health professionals, and community leaders from Hazara, Rohingya, Tamil, Tibetan, Tigrayan, Tutsi, Uyghur, and Yazidi communities.

Through powerful storytelling and practical insights, AGVC speakers help audiences understand how hatred develops, how communities resist oppression, and how ordinary people can help prevent atrocities and build more inclusive societies.

Available in-person or virtually across Canada.
