Working towards these commitments
Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
Secure Tenure Rights
Ensure gender justice in relation to land, taking all necessary measures to pursue both de jure and de facto equality, enhancing the ability of women to defend their land rights and take equal part in decision-making, and ensuring that control over land and the benefits that are derived thereof are equal between women and men, including the right to inherit and bequeath tenure rights.
Equal land rights for women
Mission
CMA empowers afro-descendant women to actively participate at local and national level in cultural, political, social and economic projects aiming to improve their livelihoods. Denouncing racial discrimination, CMA tries to ensure their rights through protests and educational programmes around gender, ethnic and cultural diversity. They develop research on these issues and build linkages with other regional women, afro-descendants and civil society initiatives.
