T<\/strong>Every human being aspires to dignity, every human being has the right to dignity. For generations, the Pygmies, the original inhabitants of the DRC, have experienced the denial of their human dignity. Enslaved, they are treated, at best, as subhumans, at worst, as animals. Myths, negative stereotypes, and preconceived ideas paint a hideous image of them.<\/p>

This degrading and contemptuous attitude towards the pygmy race is unacceptable on this 21st\u00e8<\/sup> century, because it is totally anachronistic, retrograde, and at odds with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (art. 1); a brake on their social, economic and cultural emancipation.<\/p>

Today, the Pygmies are waging a legitimate struggle to regain their dignity and rights. The creation of DIPY is part of this dynamic of the Pygmies' struggle for their self-determination.<\/em>.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
