Darfur Women Action Group (DWAG) is taking a unique approach to fight and prevent genocide. DWAG believes that empowering the most affected groups to be the leaders who foster positive change in their communities is the smartest approach to sustainably end genocide.
The 50/50 Initiative is aimed at building a network of 50 volunteers, one from each state, to spread the mission of the Darfur Women Action Group across the United States. A majority of the work of a state representative will be completed online. Interested applicant, please submit a resume and cover letter to campaign@darfurwomenaction.org.
We are asking individuals from all walks of life to join our cause - whether an individual activist, college or high school student, working or retired adult - all you need is the desire to make a difference. This work grants individuals the opportunity to gain valuable work experience as a representative for a non-profit organization that is fighting for a novel cause. Volunteers will be able to gain a letter of recommendation from Darfur Women Action Group's founder and President, Niemat Ahmadi.
Main Responsibilities:
- Run a weekly newsletter or an update via email that is used as a tool to inform their state members on the upcoming events and campaigns that Darfur Women Action Group is pursuing.
- We ask that state representatives engage with DWAG’s social media accounts, as well as utilize their own, to expand the scope of their audience.
- Conduct outreach to recruit more Rapid Responders.
- Initiate one-on-one and group conversations with Rapid Responders.
- Hand out DWAG’s educational materials to family, friends, classmates, co-workers, and anyone else who might be interested in learning about this genocide and helping the people of Darfur.

Mission Statement
Our Mission Darfur Women Action Group (DWAG) is a U.S. based Darfuri 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 in combatting violence, addressing massive human rights abuses in their society, and working with others to prevent future atrocities and promote global peace. The core priority for Darfur Women Action Group lies in advancing the human rights of and supporting the Darfuri to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. We do this by supporting women rights and empowerment NGOs at the grassroots and national level in the U.S. and on the ground in Darfur, building their capacity to lead desirable change and provide opportunities for the international community to hear directly from those most affected by conflict.
