GOMEZ MENDOZA, María Juliana  and  SANABRIA TORRES, Luisa Paola. Rural Women and their Right to Land: Challenges Faced by Public Policy in Colombia. Trab. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.1, pp.85-104. ISSN 2256-5493.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ts.v22n1.79232.

The article is the result of an experience in the formulation and execution of the land restitution public policy and the accompaniment provided to the program for the social organization of rural property, carried out by the National Land Agency. The incorporation of gender mainstreaming into these policies involves three main elements: recognition of women as owners of the properties; increased participation of women in decision-making spaces; and promotion among civil servants of the recognition of women's rights.

Keywords : discrimination; gender mainstreaming; land; public policy; right to land; women.
