A Day of General Discussion on land and economic, social and cultural rights took place in Geneva on 14 October 2019. Organized by the Committee of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the discussion elicited recommendations from experts and stakeholders regarding key issues that should be addressed in a new general comment on land and economic, social and cultural rights to resolve challenges related to the governance of land tenure.
The following written contribution to the CESCR for the General Comment on land aims to present and amplify the analysis and demands of women from indigenous, peasant, fisherfolk, and pastoralist communities across regions, regarding women´s economic, social and cultural rights, and the access, use, and control over land, corporate abuse and climate change. This report contains three sections: corporate capture, land and women; climate change, land and women; and inclusive and community-centered data.
