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

Ensure that processes of decision-making over land are inclusive, so that policies, laws, procedures and decisions concerning land adequately reflect the rights, needs and aspirations of individuals and communities who will be affected by them. This requires the empowerment of those who otherwise would face limitations in representing their interests, particularly through support to land users' and other civil society organizations that are best able to inform, mobilize and legitimately represent marginalized land users, and their participation in multi-stakeholder platforms for policy dialogue.
7

Inclusive decision-making

Prevent and remedy land grabbing, respecting traditional land use rights and local livelihoods, and ensuring that all large-scale initiatives that involve the use of land, water and other natural resources comply with human rights and environmental obligations and are based on: the free, prior and informed consent of existing land users; a thorough assessment of economic, social, cultural and environmental impacts with respect to both women and men; democratic planning and independent oversight; and transparent contracts that respect labour rights, comply with social and fiscal obligations and are specific and binding on the sharing of responsibilities and benefits. Where adverse impacts on human rights and legitimate tenure rights have occurred, concerned actors should provide for, and cooperate in, impartial and competent mechanisms to provide remedy, including through land restitution and compensation.

Effective actions against land grabbing

Mission

APDH is a community-based organisation working to promote peace and human rights, through education and capacity building. It uses communities' structures (e.g., women and youth organisations and power structures) as entry-points for lasting social change. As far as the land domain is concerned, APDH is well-known for its contributions towards realising more equitable land tenure systems. It has a particular interest in strengthening and securing people’s land rights, especially women’s and children’s and of other vulnerable peoples.

APDH’s vision is to create a positive transformation of society aiming for justice, peace and reconciliation towards lasting and integral development.

Objectives

APDH's objectives include the promotion and defence human rights, according to the Universal Declaration of Human rights and other national, regional and/or international human rights protocols, the fight against human rights abuses, and the sensitizing of youth to pacific conflict resolution and reconciliation.

Constituencies

The constituencies of APDH's actions include vulnerable groups, the youth, and the public administration.
