22 years ago in Darfur, I met Hawa. She’d fled genocide. She was in pain, alone, and unheard. Her silence stayed with me. She’s why we started Network for Africa. On #InternationalDayOfPeace, remember: peace isn’t a slogan. It’s survival. Read September's blog: network4africa.org/peace/
Peace - Network for Africa
.A powerful reflection on Sudanese women’s trauma and neglect during genocide, and why Network for Africa was founded.

Across the UK each year, thousands come together to learn from the past and take action for a safer future on Holocaust Memorial Day.

Together, we bear witness to those who endured genocide and honour the survivors, and all those whose lives were forever changed #HolocaustMemorialDay

In the Global North, mental well-being is often discussed but in places like Sierra Leone emotional self-awareness is less common. Conforti's work is revolutionary—educating on #trauma #depression & debunking myths. Their outreach to schools & teachers is changing the narrative.
