[Defiance: Join The Fight Full Movie Online Free
Rapheal Charlton
With my father, who has always been my ally and inspiration, I established Malala Fund, a charity dedicated to giving every girl an opportunity to achieve a future she chooses. In recognition of our work, I received the Nobel Peace Prize in December 2014 and became the youngest-ever Nobel laureate.
I travel to many countries to meet girls fighting poverty, wars, child marriage and gender discrimination to go to school. Malala Fund is working so that their stories, like mine, can be heard around the world.
With more than 130 million girls out of school today, there is more work to be done. I hope you will join my fight for education and equality. Together, we can create a world where all girls can learn and lead.

Defiance is massive $105 million bet on the future of entertainment. A join project between gaming company Trion Worlds and the Syfy cable network, Defiance arrives next month as both a massively multiplayer online third person shooter game launching April 2nd. and a sci-fi TV series premiering April 15th.
Both the game and the show were developed at the same time, a process that allowed the gamers to influence the look and feel of the tv show and the studio executives to offer their input into the game's coding process. That interaction wasn't always smooth, according to an article in Adweek that details a situation where the coders didn't want the show to have horses and the TV producers insisted they couldn't afford to pay for any FX that involved flying. What we we get instead is neither and an elaborate backstory about how spaceships blew up and created a low-flying asteroid field that makes flight impossible in Defiance world. Events on the show will influence what's happening in the game and Trion's rendering image is supposed to able to update the game in near-real time around the world.
Comcast owns Syfy and they'll win in a big way if Defiance takes off. First, you need cable to watch the show. Comcast will sell you some of that. Then you'll need an internet connection to play the game and a pretty fast one to take full advantage on the game's capabilities. Comcast sells that, too. Eventually, we could see lunchboxes, t-shirts, theatrical movies, smartphone games, novelizations, the whole Star Trek/Star Wars money-spinning experience.
Of course none of this works if either the TV show or the game doesn't catch fire. They both have to be great, especially since MMO games have declined in popularity since World of Warcraft peaked about three years ago.
I could tell you that, around the world, three people are killed every week while trying to protect their land, their environment, from extractive forces. I could tell you that this has been going on for decades, with the numbers killed in recent years hitting over 200 each year. And I could tell you, as this report does, that a further 200 defenders were murdered in the last year alone. But these numbers are not made real until you hear some of the names of those who died.
Marcelo Chaves Ferreira. Sidinei Floriano Da Silva. Jos Santos Lpez. Each of them a person loved by their family, their community. Jair Adn Roldn Morales. Efrn Espaa. Eric Kibanja Bashekere. Each of them considered expendable for the sake of profit. Regilson Choc Cac. Ursa Bhima. Angel Rivas. Each killed defending not only their own treasured places, but the health of the planet which we all share.
That means national and supranational governments committing to report and investigate these murders, and ultimately to serve justice on the culprits. It means governments ensuring protections for defenders, including reporting and investigating their murders as a means to access justice. It means companies ensuring their operations do not cause harm. And of course it means all of us continuing to shine a light on these stories, not just to remember those who have fallen but to continue their urgent work by telling the world exactly why they are dead.
While we at Global Witness were familiar with the targeting of our partners as they were defending their land and environment, the murder of our former colleague, Wutty, prompted us to confront a range of questions. What was the global picture, what were the implications of such attacks and what could be done to prevent them?
This report, and our campaign, is dedicated to all those individuals, communities and organisations that are bravely taking a stand to defend human rights, their land, and our environment. 200 of them were murdered in 2021 for doing just that. We remember their names, and celebrate their activism.
Joannah had tree sap running through her veins. She was a tree lover, a permaculture practitioner, a full-on environmentalist and conservationist, a mum and an earth mother. She had an ardent and unwavering passion for the planet, and was wonderfully bonkers. She was full of life and joie de vivre. She was shot dead as she returned to her home on the outskirts of Nairobi in Kenya in July 2021.
For many years Joannah had spoken out with passion and determination against land-grabbers and well-known private developers who had begun destroying the Kiambu forest next to where she lived. She made headlines in 2018 when she single-handedly confronted those that were felling trees and, in the months before she was killed, she had rightfully won a legal case against a developer wanting to build on the forested land.
Mexico was the country with the highest recorded number of killings, with defenders killed every month, totalling 54 killings in 2021, up from 30 the previous year. Over 40% of those killed were Indigenous people, and over a third of the total were forced disappearances, including at least eight members of the Yaqui community.
Global Witness recorded 12 mass killings, including three in India and four in Mexico. In Nicaragua, criminal groups massacred 15 Indigenous and land rights defenders as part of systematic and widespread violence against the Miskitu and Mayangna Indigenous peoples.
50 of the victims killed in 2021 were small-scale farmers, highlighting how the relentless commodification and privatisation of land for industrial agriculture is putting small-scale farmers increasingly at risk as land deals ignore local tenure rights. Small-scale family agriculture, on which most of the world's rural poor still depend, is threatened by large-scale plantations, export-led agriculture and the production of commodities over food.
Gender-based violence rooted in misogyny and discriminatory gender norms is disproportionately used against women environmental and human rights defenders to control and silence them, and suppress their power and authority as leaders.
The country has risen rapidly over the last ten years as one of the most dangerous places for land and environmental defenders, with 154 documented cases over this period. The majority of killings (131) took place between 2017 and 2021 alone.
Indigenous territories are highly vulnerable to the prolific number of large-scale extractive projects promoted by national and foreign companies and backed by the Mexican government. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights has raised concerns about the lack of adequate consultation with potentially affected communities and the subsequent attacks on those standing against signature projects. The Commission has flagged criminalisation and smear campaigns as harmful threats against land and environmental defenders in Mexico.
Impunity remains rife, with over 94% of crimes not reported, and only 0.9% resolved. Mexican environmentalist Irma Galindo Barrios disappeared in October 2021. Since 2018, Irma had faced intimidation by public officials, as well as harassment, persecution, defamation campaigns and death threats as a result of her defence of the forests. This defence included her submission of a formal complaint to the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources.
Whilst the Escaz Agreement was ratified by Mexico in January 2021 and came into force in April, there is little state capacity or budget to support defenders, narrowing the likelihood of individuals and communities securing access to justice and redress. The Mexican Centre for Environmental Rights (CEMDA) has raised concern about the multiplicity of factors involved in this context of impunity, including the lack of compliance with human rights standards when investigating crimes against defenders.
