Supporting Aegis Trust

2. Aegis Trust
“Works towards the prediction, prevention and ultimately the elimination of
genocide for the benefit of mankind primarily through research, education
and the dissemination of information and advice."
Aegis treats genocide as a public health issue with three phases:
 Primary Prevention: Research, remembrance and learning about the past,
creating community resilience against the risk of genocide in the future
 Secondary Prevention: Evidence-based campaigns to stop mass atrocities
in the present
 Tertiary prevention: Supporting survivors and communities to rebuild when
genocide is past

As Aegis Trust programmes grow and develop, the need for sustainable
funding to support them, increases.
