TS03B: ENHANCING WOMEN’S ACCESS (TO LAND AND SURVEYING) - 2 [10529]Commission: 1, 7 & TF on SDG
Chair: Ms. Kate Fairlie, United Kingdom
Rapporteur: Ms. Claire Buxton, New Zealand
FIG’s Commission 7 Working Group on Women’s Land Rights has developed a preliminary project plan to revisit and build on FIG Publication 24, to clearly document and articulate the role and responsibilities of surveyors in promoting and mainstreaming women’s land rights in practice and to grow FIG’s contributions to the Stand for Her Land (SH4L) initiative, in particularly supporting FIG members to support SH4L activities on the ground.
This session commences with a brief introduction to the WG and the aims and intent of the session. This is followed by a panel drawn from representatives from multilaterals and development partners, NGOs and the private sector. Two key questions are asked of the panel:
- What are your experiences of successes and barriers to achieving women’s land rights, especially in the ‘Americas’ region?
- How best can FIG and surveyors impact the WLR space, including through linkages with S4HL?
The final half hour of the session will be devoted to an ‘inputs session’ (rather than a Q+A) – meaning that opportunity will be provided to the audience to provide input into the Working Group workplan, to guide the direction that FIG might take and to ultimately volunteer for a role in the Working Group. Attendees are particularly asked to consider the role of surveyors – both individuals and representative bodies – in achieving women’s land rights.
