Abstract :
This study aims to assess and evaluate the
gender responsiveness of the existing policies and
guidelines on the promotion of gender equality in land
access and land security in the Philippines, using the
adopted Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) of the UNHABITAT and the six (6) Gender Evaluation Criteria
(GEC) namely: (1) Participation of women and men; (2)
Capacity development and empowerment of women; (3)
Legal and institutional considerations to ensure equality
of land access and land tenure security; (4) social and
cultural considerations; (5) economic considerations;
and (6) scale, coordination, and sustainability. Purposive
sampling was used, with respondents drawn from key
government agencies, including the Department of
Agrarian Reform (DAR), the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Land
Registration Authority (LRA), the Housing and Urban
Development Council (HUDCC), the National Housing
Authority (NHA), and the Local Government Unit
(LGU) of Bocaue, Bulacan. This study used a
quantitative research approach designed through an
online questionnaire sent to respondents to collect
essential data. The outcome of this study shows that the
majority of selected informants agreed that the existing
policies and land tools in the Philippines promote gender
equality in terms of land access and security of land
tenure, with a 4.03 average mean in the conducted
survey using the six (6) GEC.
