PROOF continues to fight for social justice and human rights, strengthening coalitions with our partners to document, teach, design, engage, and mobilize for positive change.
One of the most important pieces I’ve worked on to date. You CANNOT talk about this issue without talking about how the perceptions of Asian and Asian American women as submissive, hypersexual and exotic had made them vulnerable to violence and abuse. Thank you @schoimorrow

In our final two days of genocide awareness coverage, our rescuer is Subramaniam Sharma, a Hindu man who speaks to the clear divide he saw in Sri Lanka during the five year civil war. #GenocideAwarenessMonth#SriLanka
To end #GenocideAwarenessMonth, PROOF brings you three more rescuers from Sri Lanka. Wednesday we shared Sister Grace's story with you from the Christian Church.
Today, we bring to you Mr. and Mrs. Vimale Weerakon, a Buddhist couple living in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka.
In times of tragedy we must remember those who fought for good over evil and Sister Grace of Trincomale, Sri Lanka did just that during the Sri Lankan Civil War from 1983 to 2009.
#GenocideAwarenessMonth
In the wake of the #SriLankaAttacks, PROOF gives our deepest condolences to those innocent lives taken.
In our final days of #GenocideAwarenessMonth, all of us here at PROOF want to remind everyone it does not matter your race, gender, culture or religion. We stand together.
"One day, I was ordered to kill a man named Samit and take his tractor. My boss said, 'Do not let the enemy escape.' At night, I let him run away. He could survive and I also could survive."
#GenocideAwarenessMonth#CambodianGenocide
During the Cambodian genocide from 1975-1979, approximately 1.7 million people were murdered by the Pol Pot regime.
For the next 4 days, PROOF gives tribute to those lost during the Cambodian Genocide and honors those who stood up to fight for others.
#GenocideAwarenessMonth
In the last installment of our Rwandan Genocide remembrance, Josephine Dusabimana chose to stand up and say something when others did not.
Tomorrow we travel to Cambodia to meet The Rescuers who fought for ALL people of their country in time of Genocide.
#GenocideAwarenessMonth
Kicking off a new week with another up-stander from the Rwanda Genocide, Leonard Rurangirwa.
"To help the Tutsis, I moved them, hiding them in abandoned houses and Banana Trees."
#GenocideAwarenessMonth
In the second installment of our Genocide Awareness Month Coverage, we meet Sister Helene of Rwanda, who hid Tutsi refugees in her house so they would not be taken and killed during the Rwandan Genocide.
