Prediction, prevention, protection & justice approaches to identity-based violence
Every day thousands of people are violently targeted because of an aspect of their identity. It could be because of their race, religion, culture or ethnicity, their sexual orientation or gender. It could be because of their political affiliation. We call this identity-based violence (IBV). When a group of people are attacked for the same reasons we call this identity-based mass violence (IBMV) or Mass atrocity crimes. Today, around the world millions of people are living in fear of becoming victims of such crimes.

We work with decision makers and decision shapers in order to strengthen prediction, prevention, and protection approaches to identity-based violence, particularly mass atrocity crimes worldwide. We believe that with your support the global phenomenon of identity-based violence can be brought to an end.
