The document discusses women's access to land and property from an access to justice perspective in Asia-Pacific. It provides a conceptual framework focusing on access to justice, human rights, gender analysis of land and property. A survey found key issues include customary laws, statutory laws and institutions, culture, and lack of women's participation and research. The document maps key actors, legal frameworks, issues and research gaps. Preliminary conclusions note differences between laws and lack of enforcement. Recommendations include legal reforms, awareness raising, capacity building, and filling research gaps.

Measuring Gender-Transformative Change in Agriculture: A review of the literature and promising practices
February 16, 2017
Presenters: Steven Cole, Cynthia McDougall, & Afrina Choudhury from WorldFish & the FISH CGIAR Research Program; Emily Hilenbrand & Pranati Mohanraj from CARE USA
Discussant: Ruth Meinzen-Dick (IFPRI)
Gender inequalities are recognized as both a major driver of poverty and an impediment to agricultural development. Understanding complex processes of social change remains a critical challenge for effective agricultural development programming that advances gender equality. Gender transformative approaches represent a move beyond “business as usual” gender integration in programming towards the creation of an enabling social environment and more equitable formal and informal institutions that expand life choices for women and men.
At the heart of their work, WorldFish (in particular, through its FISH and Aquatic Agricultural Systems cross-cutting research program) and CARE USA (through its global Pathways to Empowerment agriculture program) strive to apply gender transformative approaches (GTA) in designing, implementing, and learning from agricultural development interventions. However, committing to GTA implementation approaches also requires a transformation of measurements and indicators of change, an area of research that remains relatively under-developed in the agriculture sector.
In this webinar, CARE and WorldFish Center jointly present a literature review of promising indicators and tools for measuring gender-transformative change in agriculture, along with some practical case studies and the implications of applying such approaches in practice.

6. Conceptual Framework III
•material possessions owned, accessed or controlled, individually or
collectively (money, housing, infrastructure, household effects,
personal belongings and effects, harvested crops, seeds, agricultural
implements, vehicles and other modes of transportation, livestock,
etc.)
Property
• rights, restrictions, responsibilities with respect to land (U.N., 1999)

communal or customary land tenure systems/complex mixture of tenure
systems co-exist (public/private ownership, owner-occupied/rental
dwellings, etc. (UNGA, 2001)
• different meanings of land (commodity, identify, status, spirituality,
lineage, etc.)
Land Tenure
• systematic examination of context-specific socio-culturally constructed
roles, relationships, social institutions, agency and negotiation
processes, between and among women and men (heterogeneous)

13. Preliminary Conclusions I
•Statutory laws at national level and provincial laws (India)
•Statutory laws and customary laws (space to maneuver as well
as contradictions)
Differences in laws
•Suffer from lack of implementation and enforcement
•Justice and legal institutions are not always accessible,
especially for the economically poorest and most marginalized
women
•Local entry points (legal aid, district land offices, law
enforcement, etc) often discriminate against women
Good statutory laws
exist but
•Most accessed, cost-effective and known
•Need to work with men as gatekeepers
•Get women on board

14. Preliminary Conclusions II
•Land titling, certification, etc.
•Statutory and customary laws and institutions
•Engaging with the international human rights system
•Voluntary codes, guidelines, etc.
Engage in key
debates
•Problem-solving and partnerships
•Engage in deeper scoping studies and consultations in-country
in planning phase
Inter and trans-
disciplinary
•National initiatives
•And regional exchanges and mutual learning
Regional
Programming
15. Preliminary Conclusions III
• Occurs through various institutions (state, markets, customary AND
social institutions (i.e. watch dog groups, women’s groups, etc.)
Legal
empowerment
• Is important (keeping in mind that access can change over time,
with back-sliding, over-turning of laws, etc.)A2J
• Require gender transformative change (i.e. change in actual gender
relations)
Longer-term
solutions
• Are inseparable, but are often fought on different “turfs”, with
different rules
Legal and social
battles
• Are absolutely critical to address: backlash, backsliding and burnoutThree B’s

“Lack of social support combined with the lack of
information and economic independence means that
women whose rights are violated need greater
support from national institutions, and programmes
and policies for the promotion and protection of their
rights” (UNDP, 2005: 162).
