African Women’s Land Rights Protocol

The African Women’s Land Rights Protocol is a legal framework designed to promote and protect the land rights of women in Africa. It aims to ensure that women have equal access to land ownership, use, and benefit from it, recognizing that land is crucial for agriculture, economic empowerment, and social stability. The protocol addresses the gender inequalities in land access, helping to combat poverty and improve livelihoods for women. By establishing these rights, it supports broader goals of gender equality and sustainable development across the continent.
