This is an ongoing project about the struggle of informal settlers living in poverty and being affected by demolition of houses in exchange for development of infrastructures. The demolition team forces the people to vacate their homes. The squatters fight and would not leave or vacate their houses without relocation. Residents voice out that the demolition team violated their rights to shelter.
