Jumma Land Rights Movement

The Jumma Land Rights Movement advocates for the protection of indigenous Chakma people in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. It aims to secure land ownership, cultural recognition, and political autonomy amid fears of displacement and marginalization due to government and military expansion, as well as settlement policies. The movement seeks to preserve the Jumma community’s rights to their ancestral lands and ensure they are not displaced or marginalized by development projects or demographic changes, fostering social justice, cultural preservation, and self-determination for the indigenous population.
