OVERVIEW<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>

In Colombia, land ownership is highly concentrated, with 1% of the largest landholdings managing over 80% of the land. Women face significant challenges in accessing and securing land, often managing microholdings of less than three hectares and remaining marginalized in land titling processes.<\/p>\n

The violence and land dispossession in Colombia have disproportionately impacted indigenous, Afro-Colombian, and peasant women, limiting communities' abilities to sustain their livelihoods. The equitable redistribution of resources and land is essential to counteract the historical exclusion and marginalization faced by these communities.<\/p>\n

The Coalition of Caribbean Women for Land and Territory aims to consolidate a women-led movement for the sustained defense of their land and territory rights to achieve stronger legislation, policy, and enforcement on women's rights; hold the government and local actors accountable; transform discriminatory social norms and behaviors; and achieve greater visibility at national and global levels.<\/p>\n

In our areas of operation, women lead efforts to defend their territories against the impacts of megaprojects, extractive activities, monocultures, and the ongoing armed conflict, which often result in environmental degradation, water contamination, and increased violence.<\/p>\n

Our work is crucial in the context of the signing of the Peace Accord with the FARC- EP and the ongoing violence by actors such as the Clan del Golfo and FARC dissidents. By advocating for a gender-inclusive approach and building community resilience, the Coalition strives to ensure that women\u2019s rights to land and territory are recognized and protected, fostering a more equitable and sustainable future.<\/p>\n

Sound Series: Promoting New Masculinities<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The popular education and communication initiative \"Aha... And Why Not? Men Committed to Gender Equity<\/em>\" includes five chapters of sound productions on non-violent masculinities and a pedagogical guide to accompany community conversations with male leaders of organizations, communities and partners of women in the Coalition.<\/p>\n

The stories feature the daily experiences of rural, Afro-descendant, Afro-campesino and indigenous women in relation to social norms and behaviors. So far, men from the Montes de Mar\u00eda, Canal del Dique, and C\u00f3rdoba have been involved. By focusing on communication and popular feminist education, this project seeks to involve other social groups in order to demand and guarantee changes in women's living conditions, from a human rights approach.<\/p>\n\n
