Since women produce 60-80% of the world's food, yet own less than 2% of the world's land, it is easy to see the challenge. When women have secure rights to land, they are better able to improve the lives of their families and themselves. In addition to the organizations you noted here, there are others in the world working to help women get secure rights to land, as we ll as legal literacy to understand and exercise those rights. See the Rural Development Institute (www.rdiland.org) who is creating the world's first Global Center for Women's Land Rights, or the Land and Equity Movement in Uganda (http://land-in-uganda.org) which has been chronicled over the year by The Guardian for its partnership with Farm-Africa and Amref. Thanks again for the post. Thank you for the post on this critical topic. Since women produce 60-80% of the world’s food, yet own less than 2% of the world’s land, it is easy to see the challenge.
