Calling for the Institutional Index of Women Ownership of Land & Property....
Commemorating the International Day for Desertification & Drought....
“Women are major actors in the global efforts to reduce and reverse land degradation. However, in the vast majority of countries, women have unequal and limited access to and control over land. We cannot achieve land degradation neutrality without gender equality, and we cannot exclude half the population from land management decisions because of their gender." – Ibrahim Thiaw, UNCCD Executive Secretary
Women hold a vital stake in the health of the land, yet they often don't have control over it. In all parts of the world, women face significant barriers in securing land rights, limiting their ability to thrive and prosper. And when land becomes degraded and water is scarce, women are often the worst affected.
Investing in women’s equal access to land and associated assets is a direct investment in their future and the future of humanity.
It's time for women and girls to be at the forefront of global land restoration and drought resilience efforts.
