#Galamsey isn’t just illegal mining, it’s a crisis.
In #Ghana, it’s poisoning rivers with mercury & arsenic, destroying forests, and putting communities, especially children, at risk.
This is environmental injustice driven by poverty, weak governance, and global gold demand.

We’ve just left the courtroom. Our community case has been adjourned again to 21/05/2026 at 9:00am.
These repeated adjournments are increasing stress, worry, and fear. As we keep saying, justice delayed is justice denied. @EdmLabour @landislife @AfiegoUg

⚖️ More than 7,000 people in Hoima, #Uganda, have waited over a decade for justice after their land was taken for an oil refinery. 🧵👇 @RefineryOil

In 2014, communities turned to the courts.
More than ten years later, the case remains unheard due to repeated delays.

👵🏾 Women and elderly people traveled hundreds of kilometers for hearings that were canceled without notice.

2⃣ historic court rulings confirmed it: States hv legal duties to confront climate crisis, and Indigenous Peoples’ rights are essential. These decisions strengthen #FPIC, territorial defense, and give Indigenous Peoples new tools to demand accountability.

The @UN Third Committee adopted the “Rights of #IndigenousPeoples” resolution, and @landislife contributed to this work. Key points: protection of #PIACI and a call to prioritize the rights and empowerment of #Indigenous women and girls.
