Women, Land and Development (WLD)

Women, Land and Development (WLD) focuses on understanding and addressing the ways women’s access to land and resources affects their roles in economic growth and community well-being. It highlights that women often face barriers to land rights, which limits their ability to participate fully in development. WLD aims to promote gender equality by ensuring women have legal and secure rights to land, empowering them economically, socially, and politically. This approach recognizes that equitable land access benefits entire communities by fostering sustainable development, reducing poverty, and supporting women’s independence and decision-making power.
