North West

Chair – Elinor Chohan MBE

Elinor first visited Bosnia with Remembering Srebrenica in December 2013. The experience had a profound impact on her, resulting in a commitment from her to help the Bosnian people and to also ensure that lessons are learnt from the atrocities committed. To this effect she has led on a fundraising initiative with the Foreign Office to build a counselling centre for women affected by war rape in Bosnia; the centre located in Zenica is now almost complete.

In 2015, Elinor was instrumental in organisation a number of high profile Srebrenica Memorial Events across the North West, including one at Manchester Cathedral. She hopes to build on this success in the coming years with the charity.She is an active member of the Altrincham Interfaith Group working with the local Christian, Jewish and Hindu community and provides leadership to work towards developing and maintaining community cohesion.

She is also trustee of her family charity the Miri Roshini Academy, which has built and runs an orphanage and school in Kashmir to meet needs created after the earthquake in 2005.

Elinor is a governor at a local school and leads on safeguarding, chairs the Curriculum Committee and is a member of the Student Welfare Committee.

Elinor loves sports and is also a great baker. She is married with two children.

In Bratunac this morning, a town near Srebrenica where numerous Bosniak-Muslims were ethnically cleansed and murdered, a sign wishing a happy birthday to Ratko Mladic, the convicted genocidal war criminal, was hung up. Genocide glorification continues.

We were honoured to have Fikret Alić speak about his experience of surviving the death camp of Omarska at our National Commemoration. This shocking photo continues to haunt the world & serves as a reminder of what happens when we turn our back on humanity. https://t.co/BCfEexbNXS
