Synopsis (short abstract) This workshop was the second of a series of regional workshops on fisheries tenure and user rights. It aimed to discover regional nuances and specificities of the Latin America and Caribbean area to develop how-to guidance on appropriate tenure systems and rights-based approaches for fisheries. Representatives from both government and non-government sectors attended this workshop. Participants at the workshop presented fisheries tenure and user rights of 11 countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Jamaica, Grenada, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama and Uruguay. Participants discussed in plenary three topics: 1) Recognition and allocation of tenure rights and responsibilities; 2) Transfers and other changes to tenure rights; and 3) Administration of tenure. Participants made recommendations for future work, including (1) increasing efforts on securing small-scale fishers rights; and (2) finding solutions on how different sectors can coexist. To do so, participants requested more information and guidance on tenure and user rights in fisheries along with on-the-ground support.

Participants at the workshop presented fisheries tenure and user rights of 13 countries, including Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Timor-Leste.

This legal note is based on the publication "The protection of the rights of rural women in Latin America and the Caribbean", produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Spanish Agency for Cooperation International for Development (AECID) through the Spanish Cooperation Training Center in La Antigua Guatemala. This is a brief document that addresses the international and regional regulatory framework that establishes the rights of rural women, and the constitutional and legislative advances in the matter achieved in the region. The specific laws approved are presented, as well as examples of laws that protect the right to productive resources and services, and the right to participation of rural women, adopted in various countries of the region. The note highlights the work of the Parliamentary Front against Hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean (FPH-ALC) – a network of more than 400 legislators supported by FAO, AECID and the Mexican Agency for Cooperation International for Development (AMEXCID) - and the role of national parliaments to advance in the protection of the rights of rural women. It concludes, bringing recommendations for possible actions from the parliamentary sphere to contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 5 (SDG2 and SDG5), and strengthen the effective guarantee of the rights of rural women.
