Event description:*	Women’s property rights, especially access to land, are increasingly recognized as critical to achieving poverty reduction and gender equality. However, many women are unable to realize their rights. ICRW’s research and program work in gender and property rights aims to advance knowledge on how women’s and men’s property rights are measured and to strengthen community-based programs addressing women’s property rights. Through the Gender, Asset and Land Survey (GLAS) in Uganda and South Africa, ICRW and partners have gathered evidence on the spectrum of women’s property rights, including their ownership, use and control over land, housing and other assets. Through the Community-based Paralegal Program in Uganda, ICRW works with community-based legal aid organizations to develop their capacity in gender and in monitoring and improve their ability to protect women’s property rights. ICRW will discuss the results of the first phases of these two programs. The discussion will include lessons from: piloting a new methodology to collect data on gendered property rights and key findings from Uganda and South Africa; evaluating a pilot community-based legal aid programs as an approach to supporting women’s property rights; and recommending next steps for moving forward. '''Speakers''': '''Krista Jacobs''', Economist '''Meredith Saggers''', Economist, Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist This is a brown bag seminar, with drinks and light snacks provided.
