Welcome to the WLR Platform
The Women’s Land Rights (WLR) Platform is an inclusive space for women across the world to share and document their experiences and perspectives around land rights.
We aim to use storytelling as an impactful tool for advocacy and movement building, while also mapping organizations across the world who are working in various sectors that intersect the WLR movement.
