Women have the right to enjoy, on an equal footing, all their land rights, including the right to access, use, inherit, control, and own property. To achieve full gender equality, states must fulfill their obligation to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women—including those related to land ownership—recommends the United Nations. Although 164 countries recognize this right for women, only 52 guarantee it in practice, as shown by a 2019 OECD study.
