Genocide Memorial Day (GMD) is a day focused on remembering man’s inhumanity to man and takes place on the third Sunday of January each year. This day is an opportunity to unite and struggle to end oppression everywhere.
This year’s UK event takes the theme ‘Genocide as a tool of Colonialism’. The event will examine issues such as colonialism, racism, discrimination and will discuss the case of Palestine to exemplify the deterioration of human rights under Israeli occupation
