Global Initiative on Womenโs Security of Tenure
Huairou Commissionโs Global Initiative on Womenโs Security of Tenure is a multi-stakeholder platform to advance an alternative approach on womenโs security of tenure that is grounded in grassroots womenโs experiences.
What the Global Initiative on Womenโs Security of Tenure will do:
1. Bring together stakeholders that believe in the mission of securing womenโs 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 womenโs 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 disciplineโs 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 womenโs tenure.
