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.

Demonstrators shout slogans while raising placards reading ''dismantling of polluting units in Gabes'' during a mass protest that brings together thousands of residents in Gabes, Tunisia, on October 15, 2025, to protest and demand the dismantling of the units of the Tunisian Chemical Group (GCT). The mobilization comes after a surge in cases of respiratory problems, poisonings, and illnesses affecting students at a middle school located near the phosphate processing plant, sparking anger among a population exposed to chemical risks for more than fifty years. In 2017, Tunisian authorities promise the gradual dismantling of the polluting units of the Gabes chemical complex following strong protests against pollution. However, this decision is never fully implemented, and the population continues to suffer from massive pollution.
