The Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) has always argued that securing tenure and access rights to natural resources is a critical step towards achieving environmental and social justice. These issues have again become timely in relation to new forest sector initiatives for mitigation and adaptation to climate change, particularly Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) strategies and programs, posing a danger that past failures to address GAD will only be repeated in the new plans and interventions. In response to emerging challenges and opportunities in the NRM sector, RRI commissioned a series of papers, spotlight cases, and interviews with prominent women activists involved in NRM in Nepal, Cameroon, Indonesia, the Philippines and China to take stock of and better understand the diverse challenges faced by Asian women in relation to limited rights and insecure tenure. This volume collect case studies on securing women's tenure from Indonesia, Nepal and the Philippines.
