Siete de cada diez mujeres campesinas, indígenas y afrodescendientes en cinco países de América Latina trabajan la tierra para producir alimentos, pero solo tres tienen título de esos campos y tierras, según un informe de una ONG y un medio feminista.
Sete de cada dez mulheres produtoras de alimentos têm acesso a terras para produzir alimentos, mas apenas três possuem título de propriedade dos campos e terrenos onde trabalham. O dado foi revelado no relatório "Elas alimentam o mundo", lançado nesta segunda-feira (6) e desenvolvido pelo meio de comunicação feminista LatFem e a organização internacional WeEffect.
Dans ce bulletin, la Coalition internationale pour l'accès à la terre - Afrique présente un résumé du Forum foncier africain 2021.
En el ámbito de los ingresos laborales se puede evidenciar una notoria diferencia, que juega en contra de las mujeres de la ruralidad, en relación a los hombres y a sus pares en las ciudades. La pandemia ha agravado su situación de trabajo y de autonomía económica.
El 8 de octubre, un estruendo aplauso resonó en la sala del Consejo de Derechos Humanos de la ONU en Ginebra. Una batalla librada durante décadas por activistas medioambientales y defensores de los derechos había dado por fin sus frutos.
Por primera vez, el órgano de Naciones Unidas cuya misión es promover y proteger los derechos humanos en todo el mundo, aprueba una resolución que reconoce el acceso a un medio ambiente saludable y sostenible como un derecho universal.

Nayiare Noonkiba does not stand out from other Maasai women in Mara North despite the powerful position she holds in her community.
An owner of huge swathes of land, a leader and a women's rights advocate across the Mara conservancies, Noonkiba's influence in her community is unmatched.
At Nashulai Conservancy, Noonkiba sits on the powerful land control board. She also owns land in five conservancies dotting the Mara.
Opondo Cathy, (not real name due to the sensitivity of the matter), has never owned even a small radio in her entire life. This is a clear indication that the villager may not be aware of critical developments in the country. And this does not come as a shock, since the first time she heard the news of the COVID-19 in Uganda was when she visited her neighbor who’s 500 meters away from her home, barely a month after Uganda had even registered a first case COVID-19.
Land. It is a commodity like no other. We live on it. We grow from it. We drink from it and build our futures upon it. But — increasingly and frighteningly so — we don’t share it equally.
The distribution of land has long defined the gap between rich and poor. Now new data shows clearer than ever how the way in which land is being shared and managed profoundly impacts extreme and rising inequality, and the achievement of women’s and girl’s rights.
LOCKDOWN restrictions aimed at fighting the Covid-19 pandemic in Lesotho have had an unintended adverse negative impact of undermining women's customary land rights, a regional human rights body has found.
The organisation, Advancing Rights in Southern Africa (ARISA), said its research on the impact of Covid-19 on women's customary land rights and livelihoods in southern Africa found that lockdown restrictions had worsened violations of women's customary land rights in the region.
A Recent Victory
In September 2020, President Mokgweetsi Masisi amended the 2015 Land Policy to give married women in Botswana the right to own land. Previously, married women were only eligible to own land if their husbands did not. The policy excluded not only married women but widows and single mothers as well, which left millions of women affected.
