The Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) and the Service for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors (STARTTS) are organising a special series of webinars to build awareness of human rights. This webinar, the second of three on genocide, focused on Genocide Survivors' Stories: Resilience, Recovery, and Hope.
This webinar aimed to deepen understanding of the experiences of genocide survivors. In this session, speakers addressed the genocide against the Rohingyas in Myanmar, and the genocide experienced by Indigenous Peoples in Australia. By focusing on these distinct yet interconnected narratives, the webinar highlighted how diverse cultural and historical contexts shape the impact of genocide, while also celebrating the strength and perseverance of those who continue to seek justice and healing.
NOTE: At least half an hour will be allocated for questions, answers, and audience comments. Throughout the webinar and afterward, useful resources and links will be shared to support further learning.
