    Evidence shows that women can benefit from having individualised land rights formalized in their names. However, similar evidence is not available for formalization of land rights that are based on collective tenure. Studies have estimated that as much as 65 percent of the world’s land is held under customary, collective-tenure systems. Improving tenure security for land held collectively has been shown to improve resource management and to support self-determination of indigenous groups.

    This report uses household-level data from 33, mostly developing, countries to analyse perceptions of tenure insecurity among women. We test two hypotheses: (1) that women feel more insecure than men; and (2) that increasing statutory protections for women, for instance by issuing joint named titles or making inheritance law more gender equal, increases de facto tenure security.

    O presente trabalho pretende refletir sobre territórios e especificidades de mulheres indígenas na Amazônia brasileira, mais especificamente do Estado do Acre, com suas lutas encampadas pela defesa dos territórios ancestrais, bem como o estabelecimento de relações com o movimento indígena. Assim, o caminho metodológico terá como partida a experiência de vida e de luta de lideranças femininas, as quais inserem preocupações quanto aos seus direitos, seus posicionamentos e reflexões que provocam transformações em suas realidades sociais e culturais.
