Input to the on-line discussion "How can women's land rights be secured?" - January/February 2012
This page is meant to provide a quick overview of major reference to women's land rights in existing international instruments, as well as paragraphs related to women - or more broadly gender - in the First Draft of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the context of National Food Security (VGs). The VGs are still under-negotiations under the auspices of the Committee of World Food Security, and are therefore still subject to change.
