Justice and Dignity
Organised by Congolese Action Youth Platform (CAYP) in collaboration with civil society organisations
On the 2nd August of every year, you are invited to join the Congolese community across the world to take part in the Memorial Day for the Congolese genocide. This yearly event is a simple gesture to pay respects to the lives of all those that we have lost in Congo’s long history of conflicts. This Friday August 2nd, the event will be organised in 26 cities across the world across four continents (Africa, Europe, North America, and South America) as well as online. This year is organised under the theme of “Justice and Dignity”. Whether you join us in person or participate online, your voice is crucial. Help amplify the stories and struggles of those affected by using hashtags #Genocost2024 and #Tokobosanate.
Genocost is not merely an event; it’s a movement towards healing and justice for the Democratic Republic of Congo. We look forward to coming together and creating lasting memories on this impactful day.
Set your calendar for a day dedicated to reflection, education, and standing together in solidarity.
