The AGFE report on evictions was presented by Leticia Osorio of COHRE, together with testimonies of specific evictions by Malick Gaye of ENDA Tiers Monde, Senegal and Cesare Ottolini of IAI. The message of these presentations was that forced eviction is a global problem of huge proportions, which has catastrophic effects for communities and which has to be tackled through concerted action.
