Genocide Intervention Network
Mark Hanis
Fellowship Awarded 2006
Genocide Intervention Network's mission is to empower individuals and communities with the tools to prevent and stop genocide. Genocide Intervention Network will change the way the United States and the international community respond to the world's worst crime. The organization's aim is to recruit a committed and diverse group of individuals and communities to form an active network that realizes the "never" in "never again." Members of the Network educate their communities, lobby their elected officials and fundraise directly for civilian protection. Currently, the work is focused on ending the ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan, where more than 400,000 people have been killed and over 2.5 million have been displaced; providing material support for African Union peacekeepers in the region; and organizing political action campaigns for a more robust civilian protection force.
Mark Hanis is the founder and Executive Director of the Genocide Intervention Network. Mark graduated from Swarthmore College in 2005. He is the grandchild of four Holocaust survivors and was raised in Quito, Ecuador.
