Why Land and Property Rights Matter for Gender Equality
Securing women’s rights, access to, and control over housing, land, and property (HLP) are important for livelihood generation, food security, a store of wealth, and other economic benefits. Ensuring women’s HLP rights also provides social benefits, such as improved bargaining power within the household and community. Data on women’s rights to HLP is limited, but available evidence from 53 countries shows that within those countries, over 70 percent of women do not own any land. Without action, women are at risk of being left farther behind. This policy note explores the barriers and impediments to women’s HLP rights. It shares emerging evidence on what works to support women in attaining the full range of HLP rights, including experience from World Bank and other donor financed projects and interventions that have shown promise.

Securing women’s rights, access to,
and control over housing, land, and property (HLP) are
important for livelihood generation, food security, a store
of wealth, and other economic benefits. Ensuring women’s HLP
rights also provides social benefits, such as improved
bargaining power within the household and community. Data on
women’s rights to HLP is limited, but available evidence
from 53 countries shows that within those countries, over 70
percent of women do not own any land. Without action, women
are at risk of being left farther behind. This policy note
explores the barriers and impediments to women’s HLP rights.
It shares emerging evidence on what works to support women
in attaining the full range of HLP rights, including
experience from World Bank and other donor financed projects
and interventions that have shown promise. |
