Implementing Constitutional Land Provisions Now to Enable More Women to Own Land. March 8 is celebrated as the International Women’s Day – an event that celebrates women’s achievements on many scores ranging from the political to the social, and at the same time calling for gender equality.

THEME: “Sustainable infrastructure, services and social protection for gender
equality and the empowerment of rural women and girls”

Women’s rights to land remain a contested issue in Kenya despite the acceptance of the principle of equality of the genders in law. The 2010 Constitution of Kenya clearly provides for the principles of equality and non-discrimination at Article 27. Moreover, in the land policy principles and the national values and principles of governance, gender equality is included. Despite these clear provisions however, gender inequality in land relations persists. The patriarchal social ordering that privileges men in land holding has been a greater barrier to women’s land rights.

La pretensión del presente informe es sensibilizar sobre el problema del acaparamiento de tierras desde una mirada campesina y feminista de las comunidades guatemaltecas a las personas, comunidades y organizaciones del Norte Global.

La lucha por el reconocimiento y la participación de las mujeres indígenas, andinas y amazónicas en el Perú, da cuenta de los resultados obtenidos en tres años de intervención (2016-2019) enfocada en generar mejores condiciones de acceso a la toma de decisiones y participación efectiva de las mujeres indígenas en la gobernanza de la tierra y la gestión del territorio, liderada por la Organización Nacional de Mujeres Indígenas Andinas y Amazónicas del Perú (ONAMIAP), con el apoyo de Oxfam en Perú (a través de sus afiliados Oxfam América y Oxfam Quebec).

En el marco del trabajo que realiza el GRGE y el Observatorio Regional, se elabora el presente informe, Género e industrias extractivas en América Latina y el Caribe, para tener una información sistematizada sobre la problemática de la perspectiva de género en el marco de las extractivas con el fin de enriquecer el debate de las principales tendencias en materia de impactos en las mujeres.

This chapter investigates how land tenure reforms in Ethiopia have influenced the position of women in terms of land tenure security, access to land, decision-power over land within households, as well as the gendered impacts of these tenure reforms on land investments, land productivity, land renting, and household consumption welfare. It is based on a careful screening of the relevant literature based on its quality and critically examining the reliability of the causal effects in each study.

El presente informe se constituye, primero, como una síntesis analítica y articulada de los informes de campo de las 4 comunidades campesinas. En ese sentido, a partir del examen comparativo de los casos desarrollados, nos abocamos a extraer patrones, determinar tendencias o resaltar excepciones que sean pertinentes según los objetivos del estudio.

This handbook is the result of collaboration between two regional RECOFTC projects – Grassroots Capacity Building for REDD+ in Asia (REDD+ Grassroots Project) and Grassroots Equity and Enhanced Networks in the Mekong Region (GREEN Mekong Program). The objective of this question and answer handbook is to support grassroots facilitators who are engaged in delivering training programs on promoting social equity in climate change mitigation, specifically in Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+).

The Climate Change and International Security Resource Guide is produced for the Brussels Dialogue on Climate Diplomacy (BDCD) which consists of a series of informal meetings to exchange information and promote cooperation among European institutions and international organisations active in the nexus between climate change and international, national, human and environmental security.
 

Based on the principles of sustainable development and in recognition of land’s centrality to development, these Guidelines are intended to contribute to global and national efforts towards the eradication of hunger and poverty by promoting secure tenure rights and equitable access to land, fisheries and forests.
This technical guide on Governing land for women and men aims to assist implementation of the Guidelines’ principle of gender equality through the achievement of responsible gender-equitable governance of land tenure.

Land is a key economic resource inextricably linked to access to, use of and control over other economic and productive resources. Recognition of this, and the increasing stress on land from the world’s growing population and changing climate, has driven demand for strengthening tenure security for all. This has created the need for a core set of land indicators that have national application and global comparability, which culminated in the inclusion of indicators 1.4.2 and 5.a.1 in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda.
