Join us for an open house on the British Mining Out of the Philippines (BMOP) campaign, led by ICHRP Britain, to expose, confront, and hold British mining corporations accountable for human rights abuses and environmental destruction in the Philippines.
We’ll hear about ongoing resistance in Dupax del Norte, where farming and Indigenous communities have organised peaceful barricades and human chains to stop mining projects threatening their land, livelihoods, and a vital watershed in one of the country’s key food-producing regions. Since June 2025, these actions have been met with arrests and heavy police presence, raising serious human rights concerns.
The event will also feature campaigners from The Odette Case, a landmark legal action against Shell brought by survivors of Typhoon Odette, alongside SOAS Intersectional Feminist Society, who will share their work on the intersections of feminism and climate justice. Together, the discussion will offer an introduction to the International Coalition of Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) and the role of international solidarity and strategic litigation.
There will be Filipino food, open discussion, and opportunities to get involved in the BMOP campaign. No prior knowledge needed — all are welcome! The meeting will be held in the SOAS Main Building, in Room G3.
