Description
<p>Para combatir la desigualdad en America Latina es necesario abordar la extrema concentracion en el acceso y control de la tierra y en el reparto de los beneficios de su explotacion. Nuevos datos explican por que America Latina es la region del mundo mas desigual en el reparto de la tierra. La alta dependencia del modelo extractivista, basado en explotar a gran escala los recursos naturales, es un motor de desigualdad que ha llevado a mayor concentracion de la tierra, la riqueza y el poder economico y politico. Ademas, ha incrementado la violencia contra quienes defienden la tierra, el agua, los bosques y los derechos de las mujeres, los pueblos indigenas y las comunidades campesinas. Es necesario detener las practicas que fomentan la desigualdad y promover una nueva redistribucion de la tierra, eliminando los privilegios de las elites y fortaleciendo los derechos de las personas y las comunidades.</p>
<p><strong>Unearthed: Land, power and inequality in Latin America</strong></p>
<p>Combating inequality in Latin America requires addressing the extreme concentration in access to and control over land, as well as in the distribution of benefits from its use. New data explain why Latin America is the most unequal region of the world in land distribution. High dependency on the 'extractivist' model of production, based on large-scale exploitation of natural resources, drives inequality and leads to greater concentration of land, wealth, and economic and political power. It has also generated more violence against those who defend the land, water, forests, and the rights of women, indigenous peoples and small farmer communities. The practices that foster inequality must end and a new redistribution of land is needed, which requires eliminating the privileges of elites and strengthening the rights of all people and communities. </p>
