ABOUT US
Generations of persecution met by a rising voice for justice: The story of Land Rights Defenders in Ghana.
For centuries, the Indigenous people of Benimasi-Boadi in Ghana have peacefully stewarded their ancestral lands. However, recent years have brought a surge in persecution and torture at the hands of the Kumasi Traditional Council. Facing a lack of government support and violations of both the Ghanaian Constitution and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), their very existence is under threat.
Our core objective is to protect the rights of landowners and
guarantee a safe and equitable environment for indigenous and
native groups by advocating for fair and just land policies and
practices or taking legal action when necessary. We strive to
safeguard indigenous lands and territories from exploitation
such as destructive mining/logging practices as well as the
recent menace of illegal land seizure by corporations and
authoritarian governments.
A world where every individual, regardless of their socio-economic background, has secure land rights and is empowered
to thrive and prosper. Through our dedicated efforts, we aim to create a fair and just society, one where no one is unjustly stripped of
their lands, livelihood, cultural identity and ancestral heritage.

"I recently contributed to the Land Rights Defender Inc. organization and was astounded by their dedication to safeguarding land rights for indigenous populations globally."
I am a proud US veteran and I have had the pleasure of volunteering with the amazing team at Land Rights Defenders Inc. They are a passionate and committed group of individuals who are dedicated to fighting for the rights of indigenous communities around the world.
Today, as we walk the path of legal action, I see the fear in my community replaced by a quiet strength. We are no longer voiceless victims. We are guardians of our land, armed with knowledge and the unyielding support of Land Rights Defenders.
