ETHIOPIA

The Stand for Her Land (S4HL) Ethiopian Campaign promotes women's equal rights to own and use land. The movement intends to advocate for gender equality in both policy and practise as well as for women's land rights. The campaign intends to promote cooperation and teamwork among the relevant civil society organisations. It also aims to engage in frank discussion and conversation, identify discussion points from the conversation, and draw useful criticism from it in order to redesign programmes that are sensitive to gender equality.

To create and maintain healthy, thriving democracies, women must participate fully and fairly in public life. Women's land rights actually advance when they can participate equally in land rights problems as activists, voters, members of civil society, party members or leaders, public servants, and elected politicians. As a result, the project intends to carry out high-level policy discussions involving high-level government and non-government officials, academics, specialists, and religious and clan leaders. The initiative also includes the creation and distribution of several advocacy tools, position papers, and policy papers. The initiative also intends to carry out a number of assessments and investigations to better pinpoint the major gaps in women's land and property ownership.

In conclusion, the S4HL Ethiopia aims to challenge the patriarchal gender norms that still prevail in the country and promote women's land rights. Finding the gaps in the legal and policy frameworks and recommending policies and actions for the relevant government actors, civil society organisations, and grassroots women are the desired outcomes at the end of the process.
