The women of Kawasi village refuse to sell their cassava plantation land to a mining company and nickel ore processing smelter in Kawasi village, on August 31, 2024, in Obi Island, North Maluku, Indonesia. They inspect the plantation area that is squeezed by the Harita Group Nickel company project. They refuse to sell their land because the land is the future for their children and grandchildren. The land is the main source of life for growing cassava trees, but now they have to walk quite a long way through the company's circle on damaged roads. Much of the land around their property is sold or forced to sell at a low price.
