   WHY LAND
   
   Many of the solutions to the world’s problems lie right before us, in how
   land is governed and managed. Sustainable and equitable land use elevates

UN WOMEN

UNITED NATIONS ENTITY FOR GENDER EQUALITY AND THE EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN


MEMBER SINCE: 2024

WORKING TOWARDS THESE COMMITMENTS

Ensure equitable land distribution and public investment that supports
small-scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms
that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use
and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers
and urban residents, whilst supporting smallholders as investors and producers,
such as through cooperative and partnership business models.
2

Strong Small-Scale Farming Systems

Ensure gender justice in relation to land, taking all necessary measures to
pursue both de jure and de facto equality, enhancing the ability of women to
defend their land rights and take equal part in decision-making, and ensuring
that control over land and the benefits that are derived thereof are equal
between women and men, including the right to inherit and bequeath tenure
rights.
4

Equal land rights for women

Ensure that processes of decision-making over land are inclusive, so that
policies, laws, procedures and decisions concerning land adequately reflect the
rights, needs and aspirations of individuals and communities who will be
affected by them. This requires the empowerment of those who otherwise would
face limitations in representing their interests, particularly through support
to land users' and other civil society organizations that are best able to
inform, mobilize and legitimately represent marginalized land users, and their
participation in multi-stakeholder platforms for policy dialogue.
7

Inclusive decision-making

Respect and protect the civil and political rights of human rights defenders
working on land issues, combat the stigmatization and criminalisation of
peaceful protest and land rights activism, and end impunity for human rights
violations, including harassment, threats, violence and political imprisonment

Protected land rights defenders


MISSION

With its triple mandate, UN Women supports UN Member States as they set global
standards for achieving gender equality, and works with governments and civil
society to design laws, policies, programmes and services needed to ensure that
the standards are effectively implemented and truly benefit women and girls
worldwide.
UN Women also coordinates and promotes the UN system’s work in advancing gender
equality, and in all deliberations and agreements linked to the 2030 Agenda. The
entity works to position gender equality as fundamental to the Sustainable
Development Goals, and a more inclusive world.



OBJECTIVES

Working for the empowerment and rights of women and girls globally, UN Women’s
main roles are:
• To support inter-governmental bodies, such as the Commission on the Status of
Women, in their formulation of policies, global standards and norms.
• To help Member States implement these standards, standing ready to provide
suitable technical and financial support to those countries that request it, and
to forge effective partnerships with civil society.

• To lead and coordinate the UN system’s work on gender equality, as well as
promote accountability, including through regular monitoring of system-wide
progress.



CONSTITUENCIES

UN Women is the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the
empowerment of women. A global champion for women and girls, UN Women was
established to accelerate progress on meeting their needs worldwide.
