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

Ensure transparency and accountability, through unhindered and timely public access to all information that may contribute to informed public debate and decision-making on land issues at all stages, and through decentralization to the lowest effective level, to facilitate participation, accountability and the identification of locally appropriate solutions
8

Transparent and accessible information

Mission

SDF is a humanist organisation working to impart scientific education among people to eradicate superstition and myths regarding women and vulnerable sections of society. Agrarian reform with a gender sensitivity is one of the prime focus of SDF, apart from the right to food, secular values and the development of a scientific temper among the communities they work with, such as tribals, Dalits, women, minorities and other backward communities in India like fishermen, scavengers and women from the Muslim community.

Objectives

The objectives driving the work of the SDF over the last ten years have been: promoting the human-rights education of the masses, particularly among Dalits, Adivasis, women and minorities in the rural areas through the Panchayati Raj system; developing young trainers in raising violations of the human rights of the rural poor, as well as in rights advocacy and campaigning; furthering sustainable development through an environmentally friendly and participatory approach, focusing on right to food, natural resource management and rights of the physically disabled and of other marginalized groups, through highlighting their cases in the media. 

Constituencies

Its constituencies include tribal peoples, Dalits, women, minorities, and marginalized communities.
