Women in the Arab region can access a wide range of land tenure options spread along the continuum of land rights. Such tenure options can be individual or joint with family or community members, and more or less secure, depending on whether formalized and recorded or just protected by customary and social norms. Substantial national and local variations exist in the processes and tenure options through which women access land. To identify the most suitable option, it is necessary to recognize the diversity of women and identify their specific needs.
