The “Learn” tab explores different aspects of genocide – the history of the term, past genocides, preventing genocides, justice and accountability, and the responsibility of others worldwide to help protect people threatened by such violence and cruelty. “Take Action” keeps visitors to the site updated about events going on, along with how people can get involved to spread awareness. “Who’s at Risk” includes a map with highlighted countries – Burma, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, and Syria. These countries are at great risk of genocide and other atrocities. The “Blog” and “Press” sections help keep people up-to-date on events.
