dc.description.abstractVoices of children who survived the 1994 genocide in Rwanda have to a great extent been muted, ignored, and excluded from discourse as if these children are invisible and do not exist. However, children were never spared from atrocities that were committed and one of the major killing fields was Gitarama Prefecture. In late 1999 and early 2000, IBUKA, the umbrella organization that advocates for the welfare of survivors of the 1994 Rwanda genocide collected close to 1000 testimonies of children from Gitarama Prefecture who survived the genocide. To-date, this is the most comprehensive collection of testimonies of child survivors of that genocide yet the collection had remained inaccessible. Very sparse analysis of experiences of children during the genocide in Rwanda genocide has been undertaken. This presentation is about a project being undertaken by Musa Wakhungu Olaka to explore and analyze experiences of these children in space and time across the various administrative levels of Gitarama Prefecture.en_US
