An informal working group of women’s rights activists and experts is working together to promote women’s equal land, property, and housing rights. The organizations include grassroots groups and international organizations from Asia, Africa, North America, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, and within the U.N. system. The working group is growing and mobilizing to share strategies for research and advocacy, with the common aim of ending discrimination against women with respect to land, property, and housing.
The working groups first came together in 2003 for collective advocacy on a United Nations resolution on women’s land, housing, and property rights during the 59th session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. The initial members of the working group have continued to collaborate and share information.
Anyone interested in participating in the working group or learning more about its activities is invited to visit the websites of or otherwise contact the participating organizations.
