Rwandan genocide survivor shares her story of resilience in Australia

Chantal Bunani, a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, reflects on her past as she raises her son in Australia. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the genocide, which claimed over 800,000 lives, including her family members. Chantal, now 43, recalls the chaos of 1994 when she was just 13. Her family sought refuge but fell victim to the violence. She has since built a new life in Australia, working in the disability sector and co-founding an educational program about the genocide. As her son Evan grows more curious about his grandfather, Chantal navigates the challenges of sharing her traumatic history. She participates in events to honor survivors and remember those lost during the genocide.
