With France having recently taken a lead in political efforts to bring peace to Darfur now is a great opportunity to launch a campaign to help end atrocities in the region. France also has a number of troublesome companies operating in Sudan, such as Schlumberger, Areva Group, Alcatel and Total. For more information on these companies click here. To get involved in the campaign, please read below.

The Aegis Trust and Darfur Divestment are seeking volunteers who wish to run a Darfur advocacy campaign or Sudan Divestment campaign in France.

Qualifications

You should have a commitment to human rights campaigning and the time to dedicate to organising petitions, political lobbying campaigns, protest events and media work.

It needn't take too much time - especially if you share the work with other volunteers. To leave your name and email address on this page to be contacted by other potential volunteers please email us at: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

If you have skills and experience in areas such as political lobbying, human rights campaigning or press and media relations this would be desirable but not essential.

• we can introduce you to other members of the Darfur Divestment campaign.

I'd like to help - what's the next step?
