La Convención sobre la eliminación de todas las formas de discriminación contra la mujer (CETFDCM) define el concepto de igualdad y dice cómo lograrla. Las políticas proponen marcos de referencia para que vivamos de manera igualitaria, pero ¿cómo hacerlo si la misma sociedad es la que enseña a ser desiguales? Este trabajo ofrece un panorama histórico de los avances y retrocesos en materia de equidad de género. Al escudriñar este fenómeno quizás nos acerquemos a conocer una realidad social que impacta a hombres y mujeres de manera distinta.

Land and land-based natural resources are the foundation of livelihoods for millions of people and are related to social, cultural and spiritual identity. This is particularly the case for drylands people, who, due to low and variable rainfall and water availability, have developed adaptive strategies in response to seasonal, climatic and environmental change. Gender role norms play an important role in these dynamics, where men and women often undertake different livelihood activities to manage difficult ecological conditions.
The Rural Agricultural Livelihood Survey (RALS) is a new panel survey designed to obtain a comprehensive picture of Zambia’s small- and medium-scale farming sector using the 2010 census sampling frame.

A fourth guide, International Agreements and How to Build a Legal Case for Women’s Land Rights, provides insights and guidance on using international conventions (e.g.
