By the end of the nineteenth century, only small pockets of forest remained and most Batwa had no alternative but to become potters or agricultural labourers, working for the Bahutu and Batutsi, and living as tenants on their land.
Due to illiteracy, discrimination and fear of violence, many do not approach the local authorities to claim their basic rights.12 The Batwa are unable to benefit from land redistribution as the Bahutu and Batutsi are.
