Participants on the 'Lessons from Srebrenica' programme from the South West region of England share their experiences of being in Bosnia and what they've learnt to take back to the UK.
In November 2016, Remembering Srebrenica took the first ever delegation from the South West Region of England on the ‘Lessons from Srebrenica’ programme.
This powerful experience has created over 900 Community Champions who return to the UK determined to make a difference and stand up to hatred and intolerance. In this video, three of the participants talk about what it has meant to them and what they intend to do with the experience.
Today almost 90 % of the victims of the #Srebrenica genocide have been identified. Irrefutable evidence of their identity also helped secure the rights to justice of many female survivors. ICMP receives voluntary donations for its work.
#DNADay19 20 years ago in 1999 @ICMP made a revolutionary decision to apply the use of forensic genetics to large scale #missingpersons cases following conflict and human rights abuses - the result exceeded our expectations.
Our thoughts are with all those who have been affected by the tragic events in Sri Lanka. These reprehensible acts, committed by those who are driven by hatred, aim to create fear & division in communities. We must stand together in solidarity & show that they will never succeed.
