"I want my place": Housing, land and property rights for persons affected by displacement in El Salvador

Published 12. Oct 2022
Violence, displacement and inequitable land distribution remain problems in El Salvador. In these contexts, housing, land and property (HLP) rights are essential to achieving durable solutions and providing a foundation on which families and communities can rebuild their lives.

Based on in-depth legal analysis and quantitative and qualitative research, this report aims to highlight HLP needs and problems of the affected populations.

The study provides a legal analysis of key HLP laws and institutions, gives an overview of the on-the-ground reality for communities affected by displacement and highlights how gaps in these areas could be addressed.
