YEREVAN, 03.04.08. DE FACTO. On April 7, 2008, at the Tishman
Auditorium at New York University Law School from Armenian National
Committee of America Eastern Region (ANCA-ER) Executive Director Karine
Birazian will be participating on a panel organized by Miracle Corners
of the World (MCW) and Jacqueline's Human Rights Corner for an event
entitled "'Never Again?': Implications and Actions around the World",
ANCA-ER reports.
"It is such an honor to participate with Miracle Corners of the World
on this upcoming panel which will also mark the 14th Anniversary
of the Rwandan Genocide," commented Birazian. "Having recently met
with the organizer of the event, Rwandan Genocide survivor Jacqueline
Murekatete, it was moving to hear her story and the ongoing need for
genocide education awareness."
To note, Birazian is active on genocide education and has lectured
at several high schools as well as at the National Council for Social
Studies (NCSS), where she has spoken out on the importance of taking
action against genocide.
It should be mentioned that Murekatete founded Jacqueline's Human
Rights Corner, a genocide prevention education program. Through
her work, she has helped educate thousands on the Rwandan Genocide
and genocide prevention. Having survived the Rwandan Genocide,
which claimed the lives of 1,000,000 victims in only three months,
Murekatete since then has been a global advocate for genocide education
and awareness. At the age of 9, she had lost her parents, six siblings,
and a grandmother due to the mass killings.
The event is expected to bring together genocide survivors from around
the world and world-renowned genocide prevention educators and voices
to examine the crime and reality of genocide in the 20th and 21st
centuries. They will discuss how the phrase "Never Again" has yet to
be fully implemented by the international community, and share how
individuals can work together to create a world without genocide.
To note, MCW was founded in 1999 as a non-profit organization serving
youth worldwide, primarily through programs of youth leadership,
community development, and healthcare.
MCW empowers youth to become positive agents of change, improve their
lives, and contribute to their own communities. To achieve its mission,
MCW uses entrepreneurial approaches to benefit youth worldwide,
working closely with a global network of friends, volunteers, and
supporters from the public, private, and non-profit sectors. For
