Students Take Action Now: Darfur (STAND-Canada) is a student-run, non-profit organization that is working to make combating genocide and crimes against humanity a cornerstone of Canadian foreign policy. The most pressing issue at the moment for the Canadian government to address is the crisis in Darfur, the westernmost region of Sudan, where some 300,000 people have died and over 4 million have left their homes as a result of the conflict. The Government of Sudan has been an active participant in the devastation, supporting brutal Arab militias who rape, burn, and kill civilians and bombing civilian villages. Meanwhile, the country is on the brink of sliding into a larger civil war due to the instability of a peace agreement between the government in Khartoum and representatives of the South of the country. These issues are all interconnected and must be addressed as such. STAND-Canada seeks to educate, inform, and offer practical solutions to the very real problems facing the country of Sudan in order to protect the Sudanese people from more bloodshed, violence, and rape, which is often carried out based upon a person's ethnicity.
