Women’s Land Rights: A Ripple Effect

FACT: Women produce 43% of the food in developing countries but own less than 10% of the land.

When women in developing countries have secure rights to land and property, it creates a ripple of benefits for their families and communities. This 19-minute documentary, “Women’s Land Rights” A Ripple Effect” examines why land matters for women and young girls in Ethiopia and Kenya. Narrated by S. Epatha Merkerson of TV’s Law & Order.
