GFOD’s recommendations on CDWD led to ACHPR’s adoption of Resolution on caste & descent-based discrimination (Nov 6, 2024).
We presented it to @Volker_Turk at Palais Wilson.
At #HRC59, he acknowledged Resolution 619-
What a global milestone!

📷 GFoD at the 85th ACHPR Session!

Our delegation — Cheick Sidati, @AlimaTaal0 , Isatou, Ali Camara, and @BissengQ9893 — joined the 85th ordinary session of the @achpr_cadhp African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights to push for justice and recognition for Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (CDWD).

Key moments included calls for stronger participation of people of African descent, discussions on environmental justice, and hoping for the adoption of ACHPR/Res.619(2024) advancing the rights of CDWD across Africa.

Together, we continue to fight for dignity, inclusion, and equal rights. 📷

At #WSSD2 in Qatar, leaders must take real action to break systemic injustices. It’s time to RECOGNISE #CDWD & give them a seat at the table! 🗣️

We won’t be silent. #CDWDatWSS will be there! 🔥

🌍 As #CSoCD63 approaches, it's time to Recognize us. Include us. Act for us.

#CDWD communities are still silenced, denied rights, & excluded from decisions that shape their futures. This must end!

Global leaders at #WSSD2 must act NOW to dismantle these injustices & ensure #CDWD have a seat at the table.

We won’t be ignored. #CDWDatWSS will be there! ✊🔥
