#Kenya: The promise of conservation projects hides harsh human rights violations & exclusion for Indigenous communities.

In Kenya, communities living on ancestral land are being sidelined by conservancies — denied their rights, silenced, and left without access to justice.

Land registration is the first step to dignity, autonomy & protection.

Conservation projects in Kenya too often exclude those most affected.

Land is enclosed, profits flow, rights are ignored.

It’s time to make free, prior & informed consent non-negotiable.

En Belgique, la crise du sans-chez-soirisme s'aggrave malgré les promesses politiques.

La réponse apportée par les autorités est répressive et n'apporte aucune solution durable. Elle alimente au contraire un cycle de stigmatisation et d’exclusion sociale.
