WHAT WE DO
PROGRAMS
Advocacy Training for Uyghur Women and Youth in the Diaspora
Uyghur women and youth are disproportionately impacted by the ongoing genocide: we aim to empower them to become leaders in the diaspora community. CFU’s training workshops prepare Uyghur women and youth to handle the roles of being an activist, and provide the skills to start grassroots campaigns. CFU also holds workshops for non-Uyghurs to educate interested people in basic advocacy and activism, details about the Uyghur genocide, ongoing initiatives, and how to mobilize their friends and create local campaigns.
Global Advocacy and Education Initiative
Campaign for Uyghurs (CFU) is dedicated to a comprehensive advocacy approach that extends beyond U.S. borders, engaging with legislators, policymakers, and key stakeholders on an international scale. Our focus is on educating decision-makers and influencers about the ongoing Uyghur genocide and the urgent need for global action. CFU collaborates with both Uyghur and non-Uyghur organizations around the world to raise awareness, provide expert analysis, and support the creation of effective policies that address the crisis.
Grassroots Activism
CFU seeks to serve as a bridge between networks amongst Uyghur communities and non-Uyghur grassroots groups, faith communities and academic institutions. Both in the United States and internationally, CFU organizes, participates, and presents at public rallies, commemoration events pertaining to China’s human rights abuses, Uyghur genocide to increase public attention and thus to create international pressure to eventually hold the perpetrators accountable and end the crime against humanity in East Turkistan.
