A wealth of global research demonstrates that women’s land rights are critical to the success of a host of development goals, including poverty alleviation, education, and conservation—not to mention women’s economic empowerment.
Partners using Cadasta’s suite of tools have an unparalleled opportunity to document and strengthen women’s land rights, further many key development goals, and reinforce the idea that women are equal partners in building their family’s and community’s future.
Cadasta works to strengthen women’s land and resource rights in all of our projects and partnerships. When women are named on land documents, either informal or formal, it is a critical step toward increased decision-making and improved income, health, and educational outcomes.
