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

Respect and protect the inherent land and territorial rights of indigenous peoples, as set out in ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including by recognizing that respect for indigenous knowledge and cultures contributes to sustainable and equitable development and proper management of the environment".
5

Secure territorial rights for Indigenous Peoples

Mission

Swadhina's (self-esteemed women) mission is: 'to change the lives of women through the generation of self-reliance and their empowerment through the right to good health, livelihood, information and awareness'. 

Swadhina envisions a just, participatory, egalitarian, environmentally sustainable social order, free from violence and discrimination of any kind.

Objectives

Swadhina is a voluntary organisation for women and children. The organisation's objectives include the identification of issues relating to women at the micro and macro levels, awareness building and formation of women’s groups around those issues, the initiation of participatory self-reliance efforts, as well as the handing over of organisational and functional work to people-based groups.

Constituencies

Swadhina's constituencies include women and children belonging to tribal and other backward communities in rural areas.
