Sustainable land governance requires that all members of a community, both women and men, have equal rights and say in decisions that affect their collectively-held lands. Unfortunately, women around the world have less land ownership and weaker land rights than men – but this can change, and this report shows ways how that can be done. The reports serves as a valuable guide to realizing more gender-equitable collective land tenure systems by detailing case studies from five communities around the world showing promising approaches to securing equal tenure rights for women and the conditions that enabled these communities to do so. When women have rights and a seat at the table, outcomes such as increased livelihoods and income, improved forest cover, restored land, improved biodiversity are more likely.

关键发现

  • Equal and secure land rights for women are integral to attaining global development outcomes and a more gender-equitable and sustainable world.
  • In collectively held lands, women have secure tenure when collective land tenure is legally recognized and enforceable, and women can claim and exercise rights equally with men, including the right to use and benefit from the lands and resources and participate in their governance.
  • 法律将控制共同资源的控制权转移到当地社区,当他们要求性别包含性别时,为妇女获得了以前拥有次要或没有权利的权利的道路。
  • 妇女参与公共土地和资源治理是任期安全的关键方面;必威官网亚洲体育如果他们的参与是新生的或弱的,则应通过能力建设活动和使男性对包括性别包括性别的决策受益来支持妇女。
  • While there is no one-size-fits-all formula applicable to different contexts, universally, interventions to secure women’s land tenure must be carried out at multiple levels and in an interlinked manner, targeting both the structural framework that ensures that women have rights and the operational environment that creates the conditions for women to be able to realize rights.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognizes equal and secure land rights for women as integral to attaining the global goals of ending poverty and hunger and realizing a more gender-equitable world. To achieve these goals, policies and investments to secure women’s land rights must target not only their individual rights (or jointly with spouses) to household land but also their group-based rights in collectively held lands and resources, such as forests and rangelands.

该报告旨在通过记录有前途的做法和从妇女认可并获得权利的社区收集的有前途的做法和方法来促进妇女权利。必威官网手机版世界资源研究所(WRI)与五个国家的资源公平和组织合作,识别和进行五个具有相对性别公平的土地终身制的社区的案例研究。

WRI, RE, and the in-country partners investigated the extent and strength of women’s tenure rights in the five communities and drew out the main factors or conditions that enabled women to claim and exercise rights. We examined the extent of tenure rights according to three dimensions of tenure security:

  1. Robustness, which includes legitimacy or the recognition of rights in both formal and customary systems and the enforceability of rights against third parties;
  2. 持有的完整性或权利范围,包括从土地和资源中获得的权利,使用和获得利益,以及参与其治理;必威官网亚洲体育和
  3. 耐用性或权利的长度和确定性。

WRI和RE随后将这些发现综合给了实现妇女任期安全的主要因素,这被证明是两组因素:

  1. Structural factors, or factors that ensure that women have rights
  2. Operational factors, or factors that create the environment for women to claim and exercise rights
