People of African descent in Latin America and the Caribbean: An exploration of social and territorial realities in the rural worldFood & Agriculture Org., 2 apr 2025 - 78 pagine Census data show that Afro-descendant people experience greater levels of inequality, marginalization and discrimination, especially in rural areas. This situation is more pronounced in Afro-descendant women and youth, for whom opportunities to access land ownership, basic services, quality education and housing, among others, are much scarcer. This delicate situation is exacerbated when analysed from the perspective of their participation, autonomy and self-determination as Afro-descendant peoples.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) developed this report in a follow-up to the work that governments, international organizations and representative bodies of Afro-descendant peoples have been developing in Latin America and the Caribbean in favour of their visibility, recognition and the generation of the necessary environments for the effective exercise of their rights. |
