In a historic step toward gender equity and economic empowerment, women beneficiaries of recent land partitioning initiatives are receiving long-overdue recognition as rightful landowners. Supported by both local and international agencies, this acknowledgment marks a pivotal advance in the economic inclusion of women.

The PULSE Project, dedicated to elevating women’s economic standing, is spearheading efforts to raise awareness about land rights for women across all districts of Punjab Province. Under this initiative, PULSE teams are actively engaging with communities to inform women about their legal rights to inherit and own land. A critical component of the project is the establishment of a parcel-based system that enables women to claim their rightful share in inherited properties. Through the digitization of land records, the project ensures transparency and accessibility in managing land ownership, securing women’s rights with an efficient, user-friendly information management system.

The project’s success hinges not only on establishing ownership but also on maintaining detailed land records, which are essential for tracking progress in gender equity. This systematic documentation of female landowners is a foundational element in achieving the project’s broader objectives, ensuring the longevity of this empowerment.

The recognition of women landowners reflects a strong commitment to gender equity, sending a message of support for women’s economic independence. This initiative heralds a promising future where women’s rights to inherit and manage land are actively supported and protected.
