La Red en Defensa del Agua y la Vida (REDAVI)
La Red en Defensa del Agua y la Vida (REDAVI) (The Network in Defence of Water and Life) was created on 21 May 2022 with the aim of organising the rejection of the new Law that Regulates the Provision of Drinking Water, Sewage and Sanitation Services in the State of Querétaro from different social fronts in that state. The Network is currently made up of representatives from the neighbourhood of San Francisquito, Festival Agua que Corre, Colectivo Bajo Tierra Museo and the indigenous communities of Santiago Mexquititlán, Chitejé de Garabato and San Miguel Tlaxcaltepec in the State of Querétaro.
Human rights defenders (HRDs) and journalists in Mexico are subject to intimidation, legal harassment, arbitrary detention, death threats, acts of physical aggression, enforced disappearances and killings as a result of their activities in defence of human rights and the exercise of freedom of expression and journalism.
