April 26th- Weapons of War: Genocide in Darfur
As part of Genocide Awareness Month, Holocaust Museum Houston’s NEXTGen is partnering with Darfur Women Action Group to screen the short documentary “Violence Against Women,” followed by a discussion with Hawa Mohammed, a survivor from the Darfur region of Sudan and recent Houston transplant, who will be sharing her story of survival and activism.
Genocide was declared in Sudan in 2003, yet the people of Darfur continue to suffer at the hands of the Janjaweed and Sudanese government. In the last 13 years, more than 400,000 people have been killed, and another 2.5 million have been displaced, Women especially face enduring violence, with rape being used as a weapon of war. Admission is free, but advance registration is requested.
