On June 25, “Defending Peasants’ Rights” is organizing a webinar dedicated to UNDROP rights holders and their struggles for sustainable and just food systems!
Because the very existence of the Declaration is based on the need to recognize and include rural groups in all their diversity, we want to use this webinar to publicize and honor all those who work to feed people while preserving the land, the ocean and natural resources, and especially those who continue to do so in the face of a predatory agro-industrial system.
To understand UNDROP, take hold of it, use it and defend it, we need to know who it protects, both for the people concerned, who may not always recognize themselves in it, but also for the general public and professionals who sometimes fail to grasp the full scope of the Declaration.
Join us in getting to know the rural struggles in action!
Programme
- Opening by Defending Peasants’ Rights
- Introduction on Article 1 of UNDROP by Shalmali Guttal of the UN Working Group on peasants and other rural workers
- Round-table with the organizations of the rights holders of UNDROP : World Alliance of Mobil Indigenous Peoples, The food, farm and hotels global union, International Federation of Adult Rural Catholic Movements, World Forum of Fisher Peoples, La Via Campesina, Rural Women Assembly, Sea Nomads Contact Group.
Objectives
- Inform the public about UNDROP and its rights holders
- Share the points of view of all rights holders on their struggles for just and sustainable food systems and the realization of their rights
- Strengthen collaboration between all rights holders’ organizations
- Enhance engagement with the United Nations Working Group on the UNDROP
IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you join the Zoom meeting with your name and organization clearly indicated. For security reasons, participants whose identity cannot be verified may not be admitted to the meeting.
