JACQUELINE'S HUMAN RIGHTS CORNER

Jacqueline’s Human Rights Corner is motivated by Jacqueline Murekatete’s commitment to prevent future genocide. Established in April 2007 as an MCW partner program, this initiative aims to work with governments, educational institutions, businesses, NGOs, and individuals interested in genocide prevention, youth, human rights, and Rwanda to:

Raise awareness of the crime of genocide by helping Rwanda survivors participate in a wide-range of educational forums, helping design genocide prevention curriculum, and assisting with the collection of survivor and witness testimonies.

Help Rwandans rebuild their lives and their country by establishing a community center, based on the MCW model and tailored to Rwanda’s post-genocide conditions.

Then and Now

One of the worst genocides in history took place in the space of 100 days, between April and June, in 1994 in Rwanda, a small country with a population of more than eight million people, in Central East Africa. The Hutu majority, in control of the government, embarked on a campaign to exterminate minority Tutsis and Hutu sympathizers.

The present Rwandan government estimates that over a million people lost their lives. Among these were Jacqueline’s mother, father, six brothers and sisters, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, teachers, and friends.

Since that catastrophic event, Rwanda has come a long way, yielding such fruits as a new constitution, governance reforms, and a new, inclusive government devoted to preserving and promoting peace and reconciliation.

These positive developments have created an optimal environment for civil society to help genocide survivors, their families, and communities.
