As we approach Human Rights Day on 10 December, we invite you to participate in an online debate, asking, “Are land rights human rights?”
Ekta Parishad will be celebrating the day among a prominent community of landless dalits in central Maharastra as part of its yearlong cross-India Samwad Yatra tour to mobilize people for the Global Jan Satyagraha March 2012. They would like to take this opportunity to start an online debate with the Land Portal community. Please let us know your thoughts on land rights and human rights in your country by leaving us a message on the Land Portal by clicking here.
The result of this discussion will be used by South-South Solidarity to compile a report and share it on the December 10th human right event as a way of advocating people for the 2012 Global Land Movement campaign.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Air, water sunlight and LAND – These are the foundations for life. If there is no right to land where you can erect stable housing and grow your own food, there is no right to life itself. see bit.ly/viVJiM
