UNDERSTANDING THE RIGHT TO SAY NO (R2SN)
The R2SN is FOR the rights of girls and women to be involved in decision-making about a project that will impact them the most. When communities and groups say NO to large-scale natural resource exploitation they are saying YES to a different idea about development. They are defending what they have and how they live – their land and history, the way they produce and exchange, their social life and community, and the nature upon which their life depends.
REPORT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT IN IBAA COMMUNITY
We evaluated samples of the water, soil, and outdoor air as well as socioeconomic and public health research to determine the effects of crude oil seepage from Shell's manifold - 8 trunk line on the local environment in the Ibaa neighborhood. Instead of using probability, sampling places were chosen by the people. However, samples were gathered from outside the region to encompass the entirety of the community for a more empirical study reference. The analysis of the samples of water, soil, and air found that all three contained hydrocarbons, indicating exposure to hydrocarbon pollutants.
