Global Initiative on Women's Security of Tenure

Huairou Commission’s Global Initiative on Women’s Security of Tenure is a multi-stakeholder platform to advance an alternative approach on women’s security of tenure that is grounded in grassroots women’s experiences.

What the Global Initiative on Women’s Security of Tenure will do: 

1. Bring together stakeholders that believe in the mission of securing women’s tenure. This initiative recognizes that for change to occur, a shared goal must unite people working to create change on multiple levels and in many arenas. Therefore this initiative is a call to action for grassroots community practitioners, lawyers, academics, urban planners, land surveyors, traditional leaders, government actors and other development practitioners to come together and work to secure women’s tenure. 

2. Consolidate our understanding - map the successes and challenges. Whether people in your field do literature reviews, community mapping or fact-finding - the first step is to determine what is already known and what gaps exist. 

3. Plan Actions. Act on Plans. The platform will be a space to both share your own discipline’s expertise and to collaborate across fields in multi-stakeholder working groups. This initiative will prioritize actions and research that address the gaps identified by grassroots women community practitioners as the greatest challenges they face with regards to tenure insecurity. 

4. Champion what works. The platform will be a space to champion and to exchange best practices towards securing women’s tenure.
