The Coalition for Human Rights in Development, which brings together activists from many countries, issued a statement saying: "Again, decisions will be made without listening to real experts from local communities, human rights defenders, representatives of indigenous peoples, feminist groups and civil society. They will be talking about "sustainability", at the same time ignoring protests against austerity and rising debt.
They will be talking about "human rights", ignoring those who condemn violations of human rights. They will be talking about a "just transition" without giving room to those who advocate truly sustainable alternatives." The coalition proposes an alternative summit RightsInCommon - Finance in Common Shadow Summit 2022, where a different point of view will be presented, and share on social media the messages of all those who should be at the helm when it comes to development: local communities, human rights activists, indigenous peoples, feminist groups, and civil society.
"EcoLur" Informational NGO participates in the alternative summit and is included in the list of organizations and activists who made their statements for development banks.
