Summary:
"Strengthening women’s access to land and control over its use is not just a matter of agricultural development and food security, but a question of human rights and justice for women. The texts in this book represent a solid body of conceptual thinking and offer a wealth of comparative reflections on Latin American realities. They are also a valuable contribution that will strengthen future work in research, advocacy, and defending rights already won to offer better opportunities for Latin American women. The articles are linked and complement each other because they start with a reflection on the existing legislation and legal frameworks governing women’s access to land, move on to a territorial and cultural contextualisation of the problem, looking at the particular situation of women in communal territories and, finally, conclude by discussing the empowerment of women by strengthening their production capacities."

The Gender Asset Gap: Land in Latin America

Authors: Carmen Diana Deere, Magdalena Leon

Abstract:

The gender asset gap in Latin America with respect to ownership of land is significant. In few countries do women constitute even one-quarter of the landowners. Gender inequality in land ownership is related to male preference in inheritance, male privilege in marriage, male bias in community and state programs of land distribution as well as gender bias in the land market, with women less likely than men to be successful buyers. But there are also important differences by gender in how land is acquired. Inheritance is the primary means by which most women become landowners; men are much more likely than women to acquire land through its distribution by communities or the state and via the market. Factors contributing toward a trend toward greater gender equity in land inheritance and in recent state programs are highlighted.

Author: Mercedes Manriquez Roque

Abstract:

Summary:
"Qué sabemos de la dinámica de género en las culturas amazónicas; cuál es la posición de los hombres y las mujeres en las sociedades indígenas amazónicas; cómo se desarrollan las relaciones entre hombres y mujeres; cómo se desarrollan los derechos y las obligaciones entre hombres y mujeres, en particular los relativos al acceso y control del territorio y los recursos naturales; ¿son relaciones de igualdad y 
complementariedad, o por el contrario son relaciones de desigualdad y subordinación? No pretendemos dar respuesta a todas las interrogantes planteadas, tampoco aspiramos a encontrar respuestas acabadas dada la complejidad del tema. Pero sí nos interesa reflexionar en torno a la interacción de los pueblos indígenas amazónicos con la sociedad occidental. El impacto de los marcos legales en las relaciones de género, ¿promueven realmente oportunidades de equidad de género o crean más bien desigualdades entre hombres y mujeres?"

La Mujer Rural y la Reforma Agraria en Colombia

Citation:

Deere, Carmen Diana and Magdalena León. 1997. "La Mujer Rural y la Reforma Agraria en Colombia." Cuadernos de Desarrollo Rural, no. 38-39, 7-23.

Authors: Carmen Diana Deere, Magdalena León

Abstract:

SPANISH ABSTRACT:
Este artículo señala que Colombia sobresale como líder progresista en el contexto latinoamericano, en cuanto a normas legales acerca del acceso de las mujeres a la tierra y sus derechos sobre la misma. Las autoras argumentan las razones por las cuales el acceso directo de las mujeres a la tierra es un tema importante; hacen una revisión de la legislación agraria reciente y del proceso mediante el cual esta fue aprobada; señalan que el papel que desempeñó la Asociación Nacional de Mujeres Campesinas e Indígenas, ANMUCIC, fue crucial para establecer la prioridad que la legislación otorgó tanto a las mujeres jefas de hogar como a la titulación conjunta de la tierra a las parejas. La aplicación de las normas muestra que aunque la ley de reforma agraria de 1994 ha tenido como resultado un aumento del número de mujeres beneficiarias en las adjudicaciones recientes aún falta mucho camino por recorrer para lograr equidad de género. Mas la señalada igualdad debe obtenerse bajo actuales circunstancias muy desfavorables de cruces de violencias, crisis polftica, delegitimación del Estado y concentración de la tierra, como resultado del enriquecimiento ilícito o reforma agraria ilegal.
 
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
This article proposes that Colombia is the "gender progressive" leader in Latin American with respect to the legal dispositions governing women's access to land and land rights. After establishing why women' s direct access to and property of land is an important issue, the author's review Colombia's recent agrarian legislation and the process which led to its adoption. They argue that the role of Anmucic, the national association of peasant and indigenous women, was critical in the priority which the legislation gives to female heads of household and the joint titling of land couples. In the practice; they find that while the 1.994 agrarian law has resulted in an important increase in the number of women beneficiaries by Incora in recent adjudications, much remains to be done to achieve gender equity. Morover, issues of equity for women in access to land are being played out amidst unfavorable background events and issues such as violence from several crosscutting fronts, a political crisis, the delegitimation of the Colombian state and the concentration of land ownership as a result of illicit capital concentration or illegal agrarian reform.
