Aegis Students, a subsidiary of Aegis Trust, is an international student-based genocide prevention movement, committed to educating, campaigning and fundraising to end genocide and mass atrocities.
Inspiring students towards global citizenship, Aegis Students equips young leaders with the skills and information they need to work towards ending genocide and mass atrocities.
Aegis Students was officially launched in April 2006 at 1 Parliament Street, London and has since worked in hundreds of universities and schools across the globe, including the UK, Rwanda and the USA.
Aegis Trust campaigns against crimes against humanity and genocide. Aegis runs the Kigali Memorial Centre in Rwanda (with Kigali City Council) and the Holocaust Memorial and Educational Centre in the UK.
It also provides research and advocacy support for the All Party Parliamentary Groups on the Prevention of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity in the UK and Canada. Aegis runs ‘Wanted for War Crimes’ a new project designed to bring suspected war criminals to justice and campaigns for a sustainable peace in Sudan.
