Women’s rights to land, housing, property, and natural resources are fundamental human rights – foundational to livelihoods, food, shelter, peace, security, identity, status, and power.
After adapting to challenges of COVID-19, 2021 turned into a very busy and exciting year for the global WOLTS team.
Sous la houlette de la série Dialogues sur le foncier, le premier webinaire de la série de cette année "Genre et biodiversité : comment les femmes autochtones et des communautés locales sauvegardent la nature" s'est déroulé le 13 juin 2024. Le webinaire a attiré un peu plus de 300 participants et a mis en vedette des leaders autochtones et des communautés locales du monde entier. La série est organisée par un consortium d'organisations, dont la Fondation Land Portal, la Fondation Ford et la Tenure Facility, et ce webinaire particulier a été organisé en collaboration avec le GATC.
Le 15 décembre 2022, l'équipe de gestion des connaissances de LAND-at-scale a organisé un webinaire intitulé La sécurité foncière revisitée : Savons-nous ce que nous devons savoir ? Le webinaire a présenté les résultats préliminaires d'une étude sur la sécurité de tenure, rédigée par Guus van Westen, et Jaap Zevenbergen. La présentation de l'étude a été suivie de séances en petits groupes sur la sécurité de tenure et sa relation avec les droits fonciers des femmes, le rôle de l'État, les conflits fonciers et le développement économique, animées par des experts fonciers et des panélistes qui ont rendu compte des discussions en plénière avec leurs réflexions respectives sur les résultats de l'étude.
Le programme LAND-at-scale vise à appliquer des approches transformatrices de genre à la gouvernance foncière dans ses projets.
The right to adequate housing and the peaceful enjoyment of private property are fundamental human rights. Yet, globally, the accessibility and security of these rights remain unequal and unsustainable.
Los conocimientos de las mujeres indígenas tienen su origen en la comprensión ancestral del mundo natural y en la acumulación de observaciones de fenómenos locales. El aspecto más significativo de que las mujeres indígenas posean y preserven estos conocimientos tradicionales es su enfoque holístico, que abarca una amplia gama de ámbitos más allá de la mera especialización. Poseen un conocimiento intrincado de diversas especies, teniendo en cuenta su valor nutritivo, sus propiedades medicinales y sus funciones ecológicas. Estos conocimientos, transmitidos de generación en generación, no sólo enriquecen a sus comunidades, sino que han sido cruciales para la ciencia occidental. Los conocimientos de las mujeres indígenas han servido a menudo de base para la comprensión occidental, lo que ha permitido desarrollar medicinas y comprender mejor fenómenos climáticos como las sequías, las inundaciones y la migración de la biodiversidad.

Elas possuem uma compreensão intrincada de várias espécies, considerando seu valor nutricional, propriedades medicinais e funções ecológicas. Esse conhecimento, transmitido de geração em geração, não apenas enriquece suas comunidades, mas tem sido fundamental para a ciência ocidental. As percepções das mulheres indígenas muitas vezes informaram os entendimentos ocidentais, levando ao desenvolvimento de medicamentos e a uma compreensão mais profunda dos fenômenos climáticos, como secas, inundações e migração da biodiversidade.
This State of Land Information (SOLI) report is an analysis of the current state of land data in Botswana, assessing the availability of land information and the compliance of this information with open data standards.
The aim of this report is to serve as a diagnostic for the land information ecosystem in Botswana and enable targeted interventions for improved information management.
Latin American countries have pursued rural land titling and registration campaigns over the past several decades with a broad range of social and economic goals. These efforts represent a permanent or long-term legal recognition of rights to land as a primary economic asset for agricultural communities and a source of family subsistence, security, and social and cultural wellbeing. Land rights can provide multi-generational benefits to recipients.
Gender and land rights are closely intertwined with each other. Globally, more than 400 million women work in agriculture. Women comprise 43 percent of the agricultural labor force in developing countries, yet they account for less than 20 percent of landholders (FAO 2011). These disparities are even higher in some regions. In Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, 60 to 70 percent of employed women work in agriculture, with similar rates of land ownership (that is, less than 20 percent).
