Land Leasing Guidelines: Peace of Mind with a Secure Piece of Land

Описание: Women in rural Kenya face significant barriers to secure land tenure despite comprising nearly half of the agricultural workforce. Patriarchal norms, discriminatory inheritance practices, and weak legal frameworks limit women's ability to exercise control over land - jeopardizing their economic security, food security, and wellbeing.

Shibuye Community Health Workers, a grassroots women-led organization in Kakamega County, Kenya, developed an innovative solution: Community-Led Land Lease Guidelines. This social innovation enhances equitable access to land through leasing and formalizes previously informal land agreements, providing security for women and reducing conflicts.

This mini documentary explores how community-led approaches are creating systemic change and transforming women's relationship with land in rural Kenya.
