Rwanda - Transmission of genocide legacies

February 21, 2026

This video highlights key findings of research on interplay between intergenerational legacies and the transmission processes of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), guilt, shame, and aggression among post-genocide youth in Rwanda, as well as the correlation of these intergenerational genocide legacies with their effects on engagement in risky behaviours.

The research was conducted by Interpeace in partnership with a local youth-led organisaition, Rwanda We Want.
