Afrika Mayibuye calls for gender equality in land reform

# The Afrika Mayibuye Movement is calling for urgent reforms to improve women’s access to land. This follows parliamentary findings that fewer than 35-percent of women surveyed owned land, compared with more than half of men. The movement wants a national audit of women’s land access, stronger tenure protection and support for women-led farming businesses. It is also calling for investment in irrigation, agricultural training and rural markets to create jobs and strengthen women’s economic independence.
