Researcher Gregory Stanton describes Genocide as a process that develops in roughly 10 stages that are predictable but not inevitable. For almost a decade, the Uyghur population in China has been experiencing these stages under the Chinese Communist Party. Rushan Abbas, will describe the 10 stages of genocide as experienced by the Uyghur population and will describe the efforts to protect Uyghurs and what we all can to educate ourselves and do to end this ongoing genocide. 

Rushan Abbas started her activism work while she was a student, organizing and leading in the pro-democracy demonstrations at Xinjiang University in 1985 and 1988. Since her arrival in the United States in 1989, Ms. Abbas has been an ardent campaigner for the human rights of the Uyghur people.  In 2017, Rushan Abbas founded the Campaign for Uyghurs to advocate and promote human rights and democratic freedoms for Uyghurs, and mobilize the international community to act to stop the human rights atrocity in East Turkistan. Rushan frequently briefs US lawmakers and officials on the human rights situation in East Turkistan and testifies at the United States senate and congress on the Chinese regime’s crimes against humanity. She regularly appears on media outlets to advocate for the Uyghur cause and gives public speeches, having spoken for audiences at Holocaust museums, universities, U.S. embassies, grassroots groups, and more.
