Women’s Land and Property Rights

Women’s land and property rights refer to the legal and social entitlements that allow women to own, inherit, manage, and control land and property. In many cultures, these rights have historically been limited, impacting women's economic stability and empowerment. Ensuring equal rights promotes gender equality, enhances women's status in society, and contributes to poverty alleviation. Recognizing and protecting women’s land and property rights are essential for achieving social justice, as they enable women to participate fully in economic activities and decision-making processes within their communities and households.
