🔥#USAID Cuts Are Endangering Human Rights Defenders in Southeast Asia!
🚨 Manushya’s Founder, Emilie Palamy Pradichit, spoke to Al Jazeera to expose the devastating human impact of USAID’s funding cuts. Manushya Foundation is among the hardest hit! With USAID funding stripped away, activists fighting for democracy, climate justice, and equality are now in grave danger.
📢 “We have 35 activists and their families facing transnational repression relying on our rapid response fund since January.” — Emilie Pradichit, Founder & Executive Director of Manushya Foundation. “We have until the end of the month, and if we don’t receive those funds, we won’t be able to keep them at those safe houses … We are putting them at risk.”
📢 “This is the end of development aid as we know it.” — concluded Emilie Pradichit.
💡 This is not just a funding cut—it’s a matter of life and death. Without urgent financial support, human rights defenders will be left unprotected, and authoritarian regimes will be emboldened to crush dissent.
✊🏾 The fight is not over! As the Global Majority, we must reimagine development aid—by the people of the Global South, for the people of the Global South. It is time to build systems that uplift and protect our communities, free from foreign aid that can be withdrawn at any moment.
🚨 We must fight for our collective liberation and reclaim our power to determine our
own futures!
