Young people urged to stand up to hatred
Britain’s young people can stand up to hatred and help create a safer, stronger society – inspired by the lessons of the Srebrenica genocide as the nation marks the 21st anniversary of the atrocity.
Britain’s young people can stand up to hatred and help create a safer, stronger society – inspired by the lessons of the Srebrenica genocide as the nation marks the 21st anniversary of the atrocity.
This year is the 21st anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide and the United Kingdom’s Srebrenica Memorial Week runs from Sunday 10 July to Sunday 17 July 2016. Our theme to mark this milestone anniversary is ’21: Coming of age – time to act’.
The name Srebrenica has become synonymous with those dark days in July 1995 when, in the first ever United Nations declared safe area, thousands of men and boys were systematically murdered and buried in mass graves.
