Yet, the literature on female agency in the context of land struggles has remained largely underexplored. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, my findings suggest that land rights activism in Cambodia has undergone a gendered re-framing process.

Este informe ofrece un análisis de la jurisdicción agraria en México a la luz de su evolución histórica y de los estándares internacionales que, en materia de derechos humanos de los pueblos indígenas, México ha suscrito y se ha comprometido a cumplir. En México hay varias instituciones muy importantes para la vigencia de los derechos humanos de los pueblos indígenas, comunidades y ejidos sobre sus tierras y territorios: i) los Tribunales Agrarios, jurisdicción especializada que, en principio, es creada para proteger estos derechos sobre tierra y territorio; ii) la Procuraduría Agraria, ins

Indigenous and community lands, crucial for rural livelihoods, are typically held under informal customary arrangements. This can leave the land vulnerable to outside commercial interests, so communities may seek to formalize their land rights in a government registry and obtain an official land document.

Increasing global demand for natural resources is intensifying competition for land across the developing world, pushing companies onto territories that many Indigenous Peoples and rural communities have sustainably managed for generations.

This report, and our campaign, is dedicated to all those individuals, communities and organisations that are bravely taking a stand to defend human rights, their land, and our environment.

207 of them were murdered last year for doing just that. On these pages we remember their names, and celebrate their activism.
