It’s not always easy to find the information and answers you’re looking for and we’re here to support people who work with and care about women gaining rights to land.
How it works
Submit the specific women’s land rights question you are looking for answers to, and we will share the information and knowledge we have collected over the years.
While we won’t always be able to answer every question we receive, nor can we provide legal advice for a specific situation, we strive to provide some sort of response to all questions within five working days of submission. In some cases, we may need to ask for additional information. All questions and answers are added to our knowledge-base search engine above so others can also have easy access to this information. Unless you choose to be named, the authors of all question submissions will remain anonymous.
Women's Land Rights - Foundational Pieces
These resources are the foundation for our work in women’s land rights
Country: Multiple Countries
Creator: Scalise, E. & Giovarelli, R.
Collection Type: Articles
Jurisdiction: None
Topics: Land Reform Equal Rights Land & Property
This framework is designed for use by both practitioners and researchers, to provide some shared concepts and language.3 When more consistent data is collected, both qualitative and quantitative, comparative analyses become more feasible. Every project, both interventions and research on the impacts, will want to focus on the particular issues relevant to them. By including some common information in the analysis and evaluations, we can see how the lessons might apply elsewhere.
