Women's Land Rights Initiative

The Women’s Land Rights Initiative is a program that aims to secure and improve women’s legal rights to own, control, and access land. Recognizing that women often face barriers such as discrimination and lack of legal recognition, the initiative advocates for policies, legal reforms, and awareness to ensure women can benefit from land tenure. This is important because land ownership empowers women economically, enhances food security, and promotes gender equality, contributing to more equitable and sustainable development within communities.
