Remembering Srebrenica is a UK based charitable organisation which raises awareness about the Bosnian genocide and educates people about what the UN called "the worst atrocity on European soil since World War Two".
The charity is the sole organiser, in England and Wales, of the annual Srebrenica Memorial Week which culminates in Srebrenica Memorial Day on July 11. Dr Waqar Azmi OBE founded Remembering Srebrenica in 2013 and is Chairman of the charity. The President of the charity is Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth and the Director is Amil Khan.[1]
Remembering Srebrenica is part funded by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government and works to build a better, safer, more cohesive society. This is done through ensuring the victims of the genocide are remembered, lessons are learned from the atrocity through educational visits and through community champions who pledge to stand up to hatred and intolerance.
Remembering Srebrenica (Scotland) is an independent sister charity operating in Scotland.
