Strengthening collective rights of indigenous communities in Guatemala

About this project

The project strengthens the collective rights of indigenous Maya communities in Guatemala, who suffer from poverty, environmental destruction and a lack of legal recognition. The project involves supporting strategic legal proceedings, offering legal advice and implementing educational measures. The aim is to secure land rights, self-determination and sustainable development. Indigenous authorities are empowered to defend their rights and exert political influence. The project has a local and national impact, creates legal precedents and promotes alliances for the defence of collective rights.
