Women and Land: Localizing the 2030 Agenda10 – 11:15 am Monday, March 21 at United Nations Headquarters
The United Nations and the global community have put women’s land rights on the 2030 development agenda, with land rights featuring prominently in the Sustainable Development Goals related to poverty, food security, and gender equality. As the SDGs evolve from the conceptual and into implementation, Landesa will participate in a panel discussion focusing on women’s land rights and the 2030 agenda as part of UN Women’s 2016 Conference on the Status of Women.

Climate Change Adversities and Gender Inequality in Bangladesh
This program reflection from the Coastal Livelihoods and Mangroves Project explores how gender norms shape women’s and girls’ experiences of climate change in Bangladesh’s coastal communities. Drawing on fieldwork in Satkhira and Khulna districts, Shushilan's Snigdha Ghosh highlights how unequal access to forest resources and mobility restrictions limit women’s participation in climate resilience efforts—reinforcing vulnerabilities and increasing the risk of gender-based violence. The insights underscore the need for gender-sensitive climate action that centers the voices and rights of women and girls.
