Reports & Research
Febrero, 2018
Uganda

Land – its access, control and ownership – lies at the heart of power relationships within Uganda. The struggle for land is deeply intertwined with the struggle for women’s rights. Women’s access to and control over resources and economic decision making is fundamental to the achievement of their rights.

Women’s rights organisations (WROs) in Uganda have identified changing patterns of land use as a major problem affecting women across the country.
