Full Description

Imagine your home and community, bulldozed before your very eyes...

Forced evictions are one of the most widespread and severe forms of human rights violation in the world today - yet they are poorly understood and receive little attention.

In Karachi, Pakistan, construction of the Lyari Expressway is touted as a solution to the city's traffic problems, but over 200,000 people must pay a terrible price - the destruction of their homes and communities.
