Jeremias Vunjanhe
Jeremias Vunjanhe is a member of the União Nacional de Camponeses – UNAC (National Union of Peasants). UNAC advocates for economic, social and cultural rights in Mozambique by organizing, encouraging and defending more active participation by rural and peasant communities in the formulation of public policies and development strategies in the State. The organisation also aims to ensure food sovereignty and to promote gender equality and access to land among rural communities in the country.
Human rights defenders in Mozambique, especially those working on environmental issues, aiming to hold companies accountable for human rights violations, or working to promote better living conditions for rural communities through access to water and fair compensation for land concessions, are particularly at risk.
