challenges, good practices, and ways forward
ABOUT THE VIRTUAL EVENT
ILC members across the globe are collecting and managing ‘people-centred’ or citizen-led data, according to their own priorities to shift power imbalances that have historically marginalised and excluded them. ILC members are showing the complex realities of land governance on the ground, providing information they need to advocate for their rights while holding governments accountable for the promises they make.
In recent years, global recognition of the importance of data to address gender inequalities in land rights has led to a surge in research and initiatives aimed at improving data collection and management. Likewise, the UNSD Collaborative on Citizen Data is working to improve understanding of how citizen data can fill important gaps, including those related to women. Yet, critical challenges remain. Data is often inconsistent, outdated, or lacking in key indicators specific to women’s experiences and access to land.
