Facilitation of Individual and Community FRA Claims – MJJY, Homestead Land through Mo Jami Mo Diha – with a Focus on Women’s Rights

Seba Jagat plays a vital role in facilitating individual and community Forest Rights Act (FRA) claims, focusing on women’s rights to land and forest resources. We support in filing claims for individual and community forest rights under the Forest Rights Act. One key initiative is securing homestead land for tribal and forest-dependent communities the Mo Jami Mo Diha program. In rural and tribal areas, women often face multiple layers of exclusion when it comes to land rights, as societal and legal barriers frequently limit their ownership and control over land. Seba Jagat works to address this disparity by ensuring that women’s land rights are prioritized during the claims process. We organize community-level awareness programs that educate women about their legal rights, and provide hands-on support in the form of documentation assistance, capacity-building workshops, and legal consultations. By facilitating women’s participation in the claim process, Seba Jagat helps break the barriers that have prevented women from having access to and control over land resources. We also ensure that women are represented in decision-making bodies such as Gram Sabhas and Forest Rights Committees,ensuring their active involvement in securing and managing forest rights.We organize legal literacy programs that inform communities about their rights under various land and forest-related laws.
