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.
1

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.
4

Equal land rights for women

Respect and protect the inherent land and territorial rights of indigenous peoples, as set out in ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including by recognizing that respect for indigenous knowledge and cultures contributes to sustainable and equitable development and proper management of the environment".
5

Secure territorial rights for Indigenous Peoples

Respect and protect the civil and political rights of human rights defenders working on land issues, combat the stigmatization and criminalisation of peaceful protest and land rights activism, and end impunity for human rights violations, including harassment, threats, violence and political imprisonment

Protected land rights defenders

Mission

CODECA is a peasant organization of indigenous women and men farmers. It was established in 1992 as a way to further express the need to live with dignity and till the land, something that is currently denied to farmers due to the bad working conditions witnessed in the field. An extremely large number of peasant families –more than 90%─ that are affiliated to CODECA are landless and work as daily workers in large land estates.

Objectives

To improve living conditions of peasant communities through a major push towards rural development that is built in a participatory way, with equity and social inclusion; to influence rural-oriented policy-formulation through participation with equity, as well as through the inclusion of marginalized and excluded sectors in the formulation process; and to strengthen CODECA’s capacity to influence rural development policies.

Constituencies

Its constituencies include peasant and indigenous committees, daily workers, landless peoples and women groups.
