The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Open Society Foundations have published the easy-to-use resource guide for advocates working on women’s housing, land, and property rights in the context of HIV. It is available for free download
This resource guide brings together relevant international human rights documents and highlights core concepts, rights, and means of enforcement, providing examples of successful advocacy from around the world. Moreover, it draws on the voices of women worldwide to explain these rights and their uses in practical terms.
Advocates need a better understanding of international human rights and government obligations in order to ensure government accountability and advance women’s housing, land, and property rights. This manual seeks to empower advocates working in the context of HIV by making the relevant United Nations standards and interpretations clear and accessible—to make them “tools for change.”
The guide can be downloaded freely at this link.
