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 equitable land distribution and public investment that supports small-scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers and urban residents, whilst supporting smallholders as investors and producers, such as through cooperative and partnership business models.
2

Strong Small-Scale Farming Systems

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

Mission

The mission of AFRILAW is to use law, human rights and justice for poverty eradication, inclusive and sustainable development, and to create change, transform lives and build a prosperous, peaceful and developed society in Africa and around the world.

Objectives

AFRILAW's objectives are:

- To ensure inclusive and sustainable social and economic development.

- To promote peace and security, accountability and democratic governance.

- To improve environmental sustainability and ensure climatic justice.

- To coordinate and build partnerships and collaborations for a more just and better society for all.

AFRILAW supports poor people to overcome poverty by enabling their beneficiaries to be able to exercise their rights, and thus access justice. It supports other legal professionals, communities and civil society organisations in overcoming corruption, injustice and oppression, in order to uphold peace and ensure a better society.


Constituencies

African Law Foundation (AFRILAW) is a non-profit and non-governmental organization of lawyers working to ensure poverty eradication, democracy and good governance, peace building and conflicts management, human rights and justice, sustainable development and environmental protection and sustainability in Africa and around the world.
