The organisation works to prevent genocide and help individuals and societies recover in its aftermath. Aegis is committed to remembering the atrocities of the past, investing in the peace-builders of tomorrow and advocating for those at risk of genocide today.
Aegis fulfils its mission by: (i) social change through education, public awareness and accountability; and (ii) policy change through advocacy. These are both underpinned by research.
Aegis’ work is drawn from its values, which are:
- A belief that it is possible to make social change
- Individual actions count
- Survivors are at the heart of prevention (and at the heart of Aegis)
- That key to prevention is to be upstanders against prejudice, exclusion and hatred in all forms.
