Landesa-RDI completed a comprehensive report based on findings from field research on the gender dimensions of China’s forestland reform. The report demonstrates that women’s rights to forest land are far from secure under the present legal and policy frameworks. With much discretion to village committees to allocate forestland benefit and without effective legal supervision, the traditional gender practices, norms and roles in rural China influence those decisions in such a way that renders women’s forestland tenure insecure.
