Mặc dù các quy tắc về giới và việc đảm bảo quyền sử dụng rừng của phụ nữ rất khác nhau giữa các hệ thống quyền sở hữu tùy thuộc vào cộng đồng, bài phân tích này kết luận rằng luật  pháp quốc gia và các quy định về quyền của phụ nữ  bản địa và nông thôn đối với việc thừa kế, thành viên cộng đồng, lãnh đạo  cấp cộng đồng, và giải quyết tranh chấp ở cấp cộng đồng là không công bằng, thấp hơn nhiều so với yêu cầu của luật pháp quốc tế và các tiêu chuẩn liên quan.
