We believe that the most important prevention work happens at the grassroots level and that true long-term human security is built over time through broad-based internal social and cultural commitments to justice.

Working with people around the world to promote genocide prevention, human security, restorative dialogue, mental health literacy, and peace-building education and training.

Informing the world about global grassroots efforts to end the cycle of genocide.

Promoting a shared global language of genocide prevention.

The Lemkin Institute is calling on artists of all kinds to donate artwork for our new MERCH initiative to help us stay afloat while ensuring our independence from the agendas of governments and large foundations. If your artwork is chosen, we will of course credit you as well as add you to a new artists' page on our website and recognize you on social media. You can help prevent genocide while also getting exposure!
