“A key message of this year’s UN Forum was ‘We need to listen to people firsthand’. If I'm a company, I need to sit down with rights-holders directly, not just through advisors that tell me how to engage with communities. I heard from different rights-holders that they felt they were outside in front of the UN protesting. And now they are in the room, not only as audience, but with a mike in the panel. That's a long way to go!”
