Displaying 236 - 240 of 258Rural Women's Access to Land and Property in Selected Countries: Progress Towards Achieving the Aims of Articles 14, 15 and 16 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW)
Women's access to land is a fundamental factor in food security. Yet women all over the world suffer under discriminatory property and inheritance laws and customary practices which restrict their rights over the land on which they live and work. Articles 15 and 16 of CEDAW state the rights of women to property and inheritance. This report is a tool to help non-governmental organisations and multilateral agencies in advocacy and policy dialogue using CEDAW and the Optional Protocol (which allows individuals and groups to make complaints directly to the CEDAW committee).
Rural Women’s Access to Land and Property in Selected Countries
This report is the fruit of collaboration between ILC, IFAD and FAO. It provides information on the historical background of the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and its Optional Protocol, the working methods of the Committee, reservations, as well as a summary of information provided in reports of selected countries.
Towards a Common Platform on Access to Land
Towards a Common Platform on Access to Land has evolved through an extensive process of global consultation that was launched in 2000 at the eighth session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development. It aims to stimulate and support public policies and country-level activities that improve access by the poor to land and productive requirements in order to improve their production and household incomes. Its global scope means that it can gather and disseminate knowledge and lessons learned from and to different countries and regions.

Rural women secure access to productive resources and engage in sustainable agriculture in Central Africa Repu
General
It is now widely accepted that climate change has considerable consequences and creates conflicts between populations in both urban and rural areas. This makes the living conditions of communities, especially those of women and girls, even more difficult in a context where 81% of women are poor in rural areas compared to 69% of men. These conflicts cause security and development problems on an unprecedented scale, particularly for the CAR where the majority of population is female (50.2%) and depends on agriculture (the main source of income for 90% of households in rural areas), fisheries and livestock for the livelihoods of female-headed households. This Outcome aims to respond to the urgent problem of climate change that has long been a cause of conflicts in the Central African Republic with consequences for the resilience of women and girls, since most of them are farmers to see their fields destroyed without a legal response. They do not have control or land rights.
