Darfur Women Action Group (DWAG) is a U.S. based, women-led, anti-atrocities organization. DWAG works with victims and survivors of the Darfur genocide in the Diaspora and back home in Sudan, providing them with more access to the tools that will enable them to lead the effort to combat violence, address massive human rights abuses in their society and work with others to prevent future atrocities and promote global peace. The core priority for Darfur Women Action Group lies in advancing human rights and supporting Darfuri to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. We do this by supporting women NGOs at the local and national level in the US and on the ground in Darfur, aiming to build their capacity to lead and promote desirable change and to provide opportunities for the international community to hear directly from those most affected by the conflict.
