THE DANGER BENEATH THE SURFACE
Across the world, Indigenous, land and environmental defenders are facing escalating ivolence - much of it unseen, under-reported, and ignored.
The latest Hidden Iceberg report, powered by new data from ALLIED, spans 75 countries. The 2023–2024 findings reveal sustained violence, escalating digital harassment, and a growing reliance on criminalisation to silence those protecting their lands and rights.
The evidence is clear: defenders are under intensified assault while state reporting remains dangerously inadequate.
This new report fills a critical gap—offering rigorous data, sharper insights and a powerful call to action for governments, NGOs, civil society, and private sector actors to step up protection when it is needed most.
