    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The month of April is Genocide Prevention month in
    the United States. It marks the anniversaries of six major genocides
    around the world, including Darfur, Bosnia, Rwanda, Cambodia, the
    Holocaust and Armenian Genocide.

    More than 50 of the world's leading humanitarian organizations have
    joined together to launch a public awareness and education campaign
    during the month of April.

    Jill Savitt, organizer of "Genocide Prevention Month" told the groups
    hope their advocacy would prevent future genocides, VOA News reports.

    "What we want the month to show is that there is a support among
    genocide survivors to try and prevent such crimes from happening by
    rallying support from the international community," she said.
