A Voice For the Voiceless

The Advocacy Project helps marginalized communities to tell their story, claim their rights and produce social change. We recruit graduate students to volunteer as Peace Fellows with partners.

The Impact of Service "I look at myself as having the potential to be as strong and caring as the amazing women I met in Kenya." Kate Cummings (Tufts University) volunteered in 2009 as a Peace Fellow for Vital Voices in Africa. For more 2009 feedback click here.

Profiles

In the spring of 2007, the women of Bosfam decided to tell the story of the massacre through weaving. They produced a quilt with 20 panels, each bearing the name of a relative who had died. By the end of 2009 they had produced another five quilts, each one commemorating a different constituency. AP helped Bosfam to produce an online map, with profiles, for each quilt. We have been unable to find photos for many of those commemorated because the women were forced to leave everything behind when they were expelled in 1995. The weavers are seeking to restore the identity of their loved ones through the quilts. Click on a photo below to see the profiles. .
