Gender equity is a cross-cutting and standalone priority within CLAN!’s work. This thematic area seeks to ensure that women, youth, and other marginalized groups are meaningfully included in community land governance, decision-making, and benefit-sharing processes.

CLAN! works to dismantle structural and cultural barriers that limit women’s land rights, leadership, and access to resources. We promote gender-responsive policies, inclusive community bylaws, and leadership development for women and youth, recognizing that land justice, climate resilience, and sustainable development cannot be achieved without gender justice.
