Displacement Solutions has been following the relocation efforts of the indigenous Guna people of the island of Gardi Sugdub for more than three years, which we believe could provide a model of how to resolve climate displacement for the Gunayala region and beyond. In our latest visit to the region in September 2016 which is the subject of this report, Displacement Solutions found that there are now more and more island communities in Gunayala which are being forced to consider relocating to the mainland as a combined result of a lack of space caused by an ever increasing population, rising sea levels and other effects of climate change.

The slow onset of the landslide allowed for the complete evacuation of the population before the town was destroyed. After the evacuation, the 3,400 people living in the urban area were dispersed to temporary housing in various locations in nearby municipalities. Immediately following the disaster, the Colombian President, Juan Manuel Santos, promised to rebuild Gramalote at a new site, and to make it "better than before."

For example, scholars have argued that women's ownership of and control over resources are linked to gender-based violence. This paper provides a theoretical framework for, and an examination of, the role of land ownership in women's empowerment and receipt of domestic violence that has been posed in the literature but never empirically tested. Household surveys conducted in rural Nicaragua reveal that land ownership is directly related to women's status and power within the marital relationship and to their empowerment and psychological well-being, each of which explained why and how owning land contributed to lower levels of domestic violence. The findings have important implications for the discussion of gender-based violence in the context of development involving land resources, as well as for initiatives that can improve women's well-being and lead to more equitable policies for women.
