Video on the UN Declaration of Rights of Peasants and Rural Workers (UNDROP) by La Via Campesina

La Via Campesina, a global movement for peasant rights, has released a new film exploring the UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants (UNDROP).

This powerful documentary delves into how peasants can leverage this declaration to claim their rights to:

  • Land, seeds, water, and natural resources
  • Food sovereignty and a healthy environment
  • Education, healthcare, and social security
  • Cultural expression and gender equality

While not legally binding on states, the UNDROP reflects global commitments to respecting, protecting, and fulfilling peasant rights. This film empowers communities to use it as a tool in their struggles for justice.
