In Barrick Gold’s 2021 Human Rights Report, President and CEO Mark Bristow stated that “recognizing and respecting human rights have long been a fundamental value for Barrick.” But communities impacted by Barrick operations globally – in the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Tanzania, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Pakistan, and in the United States – present a different, somber truth: Barrick seemingly systemically ignores community concerns about the violence of its operations on their land, water, and lives.
Last year, communities affected by Barrick’s operations in Argentina, the Dominican Republic, and Papua New Guinea came together to share their personal experiences of human rights abuse and environmental harm. They shared their struggle to hold Barrick, the world’s second-largest gold mining company, accountable.
We continue to lift up their voices and the voices of other Barrick-affected communities in Tanzania, Philippines, the United States, and Pakistan. Join us during two weeks of action against Barrick, through April 30!
