20 years after the 1994 Rwandan genocide, the country has
undergone a remarkable transformation. Yet critical human rights questions
remain.
During this GYC delegation, International participants
from around the world will join with Rwandan peers to explore the human rights
situation in Rwanda (and the world) and to take concrete action steps together
to support current and future efforts for human rights protection and
promotion, both in Rwanda and abroad.
Through a combination of workshops, site visits, advocacy
meetings, and volunteer service with grassroots NGOs, we will learn and act on
numerous key human rights issues in Rwanda, including but not limited
to: gender and human rights, human rights of children,
LGBTI populations, historically marginalized indigenous groups, refugees,
domestic workers, poverty reduction, public health, juvenile justice, freedom
of expression and the arts.
In advance of and during the delegation, all participants
will examine the roots of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, and see how its legacy has
impacted the country and its people, particularly Rwandan youth, and also how
the country is attempting to rebuild today.
