WHAT WE DO
We support Indigenous Peoples in defending their rights – through direct assistance, international advocacy and documentation
Batani supports Indigenous Peoples of Russia – and their allies worldwide – in defending their rights to land, resources and self-determination. Since 2004 we have worked with communities, activists and researchers: connecting them with international human rights bodies, documenting violations, and helping community-led initiatives get off the ground.
