The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities experienced by poor and marginalized groups throughout Asia, especially those without secure land rights. Through this Joint Statement, members of the ANGOC network call for immediate actions from the global community, national governments, and civil society in resolving the systemic inequities that render people susceptible to the effects of the global pandemic. They call for a restructuring of the food system, asserting that secure land rights for all will be integral to achieving food security in a post-COVID-19 world.
This Statement has been issued in different languages. For those interested in signing on to this Statement in the spirit of solidarity, kindly inform the ANGOC Regional Secretariat at angoc@angoc.org.
