Hi, This is a campaign we will like to
share with you. Thanks for your support
Between 1979
and 1984, the government of Bangladesh considering the territory
of Jumma indigenous peoples (the
Chittagong Hill Tracts) as a virgin
territory, settled 350,000 to 450,000
landless Bengalis in the region. The
colonization has been accompanied by
evictions, arson and violence. Sexual assaults on Jumma
women and girls have been used as a way to terrorize communities and
force them to leave their homes. The Jumma’s resistance
to the colonization unleashed a war
that left more than 10,000 victims.
In spite of the signature of a
Peace Accord in 1997, evictions,
arbitrary arrests, tortures, executions, harassment and sexual
violence are still going on against Jumma people. ..Read more
International human rights
organizations and Jumma associations call the Prime Minister of
Bangladesh to respect the Peace Accord and put an end to
violence against Jumma people. Help us
to act in favour of the Jumma
people by signing the petition http://peaceforjummas.wesign.it/en
and by spreading this campaign around you. Raise the awareness
on the Jummas by sharing the #peaceforjummas.
Together, we can act for
the respect of Jumma indigenous peoples!..... READ MORE
