Recognizing the past, present and future contributions of peasants and other people working in rural areas in all regions of the world to conserving, managing, improving sustainably using biodiversity and to ensuring food sovereignty, which are fundamental to attaining internationally agreed development goals, PP7. Stressing that several factors make it difficult for artisanal and small-scale farmers, pastoralists, foresters, fishers and fish workers to make their voices heard, defend their human rights and tenure rights, and secure the sustainable use and management of the fishery natural resources on which they depend, FAO suggested adding new paragraph after list of ILO instruments: Recalling also that the tenure rights, access to natural resources and a number of other rights of peasants are protected by the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security,e the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication,f the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture,g the Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems,h and the Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right to Adequate Food in the Context of National Food Security,i FAO suggested adding new paragraph after paragraph on labour protection gaps: Deeply concerned about farmers ageing around the world and youth increasingly turning their backs on agriculture due to lack of incentives and drudgery of rural life, and recognizing the need to improve the economic diversification of rural areas and the creation of non-farm opportunities, especially for the rural youth, Programme on Women’s Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, South Asian Feminist Alliance for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and Community Self-Reliance Centre Article 25 • States should provide comprehensive universal social security to all women. Rural women are mainly in subsistence forms of livelihoods and don’t have income and cannot contribute towards social security. Therefore basic social security should be provided as non-contributory form. • Social security benefits should be received by rural women as individual rights holders and not just as a member of a family, household or group. Their marital status should not have an impact on their entitlements. e f g h i Committee on World Food Security (CFS), 2012. FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI), 2014.
