Engagement Strategy
Genocide Intervention Network is working with partners to ensure that United States government policy toward Burma features concern for the human rights of ethnic minority civilians as well as the promotion of democratic ideals.
In 2009, Genocide Intervention Network funded an early warning radio network in eastern Burma to protect villages from incoming attacks committed by government forces. As of September 2009, we have delivered over 100 radios to eastern Burma.
