Land Rights
• Poor and excluded communities around the world, especially women
• Lack access to and control over land due to perverse government policies.

• Result of discrimination and the exclusion from key decision-making processes and access to justice.

• Increase in food price is likely to have a disproportionate effect on the poor and hungry.
