This panel will share insights from Sierra Leone, Haiti and Colombia, where Christian Aid and local civil society, in partnership with the UN Peacebuilding Fund are supporting women and youth to secure their land rights. The panelists will explore how access to land and inclusion in decision-making spaces enables marginalized women and youth to become powerful agents for peace. In each of these countries, we promote locally led solutions to intersectional marginalization:

Sierra Leone: ‘Women’s Land for Peace’ supports rural women to ensure implementation of new progressive natural governance laws.

Colombia: ‘Sowing Economies of Peace’ addresses implementation gaps in the 2016 Final Peace Agreement, equipping indigenous, mestizo and campesino women and youth through community peacebuilding schools, Seed Capital Funds, and Territorial Defence Observatories.

Haiti: 'Rural Women as Catalysts for Sustainable Peace over Land’ tackles the systemic exclusion of women from natural resources management.
