Over 27 towns have been massacred in recent weeks. Thousands were slaughtered as death went door to door: families murdered, bodies rotting outside, and mass graves appearing on satellite imagery. Now there's evidence of child soldiers being used, and killed.
It's already being called a genocide. But as journalists are hunted down or blocked from the country, mass atrocities are hidden from the news, and the world does almost nothing.
Over 300,000 people died in the Darfur genocide 20 years ago. We cannot let it happen again. Here's what we can do..
Avaaz has identified a "sleeping network" of Sudanese journalists, ready to report from the frontlines. They can drag hidden horrors into the light -- but first they need funding to operate in a literal war zone. Along with photographers, fact-checkers, and targeted political pressure, this is how we can help to shatter the silence. You'd also be supporting Avaaz campaigns on human rights.
This isn't about "making a donation" -- it's about funding action to prevent genocide. Together we can amplify Sudan's silent scream, waking world leaders before it's too late.
If you're ready to support this life-saving campaign, please make a one-off donation now. Avaaz is 100% funded by people like you, and if we raise enough, our movement could:
- Fund independent journalists to file photos, footage, and first-hand reports from Darfur and across Sudan;
- Support fact-checking organisations to verify news reports, tackle disinformation, and enable international coverage of mass atrocities;
- Power hard-hitting advocacy and media campaigns to drive political action on the looming genocide and the wider civil war; and
- Launch a specialist Human Rights Action Team to track emerging threats, and mobilise millions across the planet to defend democracy and our fundamental rights.
