Rural Women's Access to Land

Rural women's access to land refers to their ability to own, use, or inherit land in farming communities. It is essential for their livelihoods, rights, and decision-making. Despite often contributing significantly to agriculture, women face barriers like limited legal rights, social norms, and unequal property laws that restrict their land ownership and control. Improving access empowers women economically and promotes gender equality, helping to boost food security and rural development. Addressing these challenges requires legal reforms, community awareness, and support systems to ensure women can fully benefit from land resources.
