Implementing Constitutional Land Provisions Now to Enable More Women to Own Land. March 8 is celebrated as the International Women’s Day – an event that celebrates women’s achievements on many scores ranging from the political to the social, and at the same time calling for gender equality.
This year’s theme is “Think equal, build smart, innovate for change.” It is a call for advancing gender equality and empowerment of women, particularly in the area of access to land and resources. This is in line with the achievement of the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which requires transformative shifts, integrated approaches and new solutions, particularly when it comes to advancing gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.
Based on current trajectories, existing interventions will not suffice to achieve a Planet 50-50 by 2030. Innovative approaches that disrupt “business as usual” are central to removing structural barriers and ensuring that no woman and no girl is left behind.
The Kenya Land Alliance (KLA), in the spirit of “Women Deliver Campaign”, calls on the Government of Kenya to put in place mechanisms for the implementation of the constitutional provisions on land and successive land and gender laws for secure women land rights.
