WOMEN’S LAND RIGHTS PAPERS SERIES
This work was carried out as part of a 3-year collaborative project entitled “Securing Women’s Access to Land: Linking Research and Action”, coordinated by the International Land Coalition (ILC), the Makerere Institute for Social Research (MISR) of Makerere University in Uganda and the Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) of the University of Western Cape in South Africa.
As part of a wider initiative on Women’s Land Rights (WLR), its overarching aim was to learn from women and respond to their needs through action-oriented research. The purpose of the research carried out under this project was not only to provide an evidence-base for advocacy on women’s rights, but also to strengthen the research and advocacy capacity of civil society organizations, and to build a platform to advocate for a transformative agenda that supports rural poor women to improve their access to and control over land and other natural resources, including the build- ing of linkages with the wider advocacy relationships and programmes of the ILC.
