FOUNDED
December 2021
OVERVIEW
Despite legal frameworks guaranteeing women’s land rights and substantial local work to strengthen these rights, women in Uganda face persistent challenges in claiming and securing their rights to land.
Stand for Her Land Uganda is using the power of collective advocacy and capacity-sharing to leverage the current opportunity to transform gender paradigms and achieve lasting change for women’s land rights.
