🪔 DAY 3 OF TAMIL GENOCIDE EDUCATION WEEK: BILL 104 🪔
Presented by LUTSA.
The Tamil Genocide Education Week Act, also known as Bill 104, was passed in Ontario in 2021 and officially recognizes May 12–18 as Tamil Genocide Education Week.
Introduced by Ontario MPP Vijay Thanigasalam, the legislation marked an important step toward education, remembrance, and recognition for Tamil communities across Ontario. For many survivors and diaspora families, Bill 104 represented acknowledgment after decades of silence surrounding the genocide of Eelam Tamils.
The legislation continues to create space for conversations surrounding Tamil history, justice, and preserving the stories of those affected for future generations.
