Key Messages on Women, Land and Peace

The Key Messages on Sustaining Peace through Women’s Empowerment and Increased Access to Land and Property Rights in Fragile and Conflict-affected Contexts were developed based on the field experience of UN-Habitat, the Global Land Tool Network, the HLP Area of Responsibility of the Global Protection Cluster, UNHCR, NRC and their partners, in fragile and crisis affected contexts. The Key Messages provide a quick reference on how to empower women and protect their housing, land and property rights in fragile and crisis affected contexts, and why this is an essential element to sustain peace and stability. The publication also includes a list of useful resources to further inform the development of related programmes and projects. The messages are relevant for different groups of women and girls, independently of their ethnicity, status, disability, sexual orientation or any other characteristic they identify with.
