Solutions Journalism Network
Our mission is to transform journalism so that all people have access to news that helps them envision and build a more equitable and sustainable world.
We believe that journalism needs a major disruption. Around the globe, societies are reeling from inequality, conflict, racism, political dysfunction and environmental crises. At the same time, journalism is facing its own crises of trust, relevance and sustainability. People routinely turn away from the news, saying it leaves them feeling powerless, hopeless and fearful.
BRIEF: GENDER AND LAND RIGHTS
Gender and land rights are closely intertwined with each other. Globally, more than 400 million women work in agriculture. Women comprise 43 percent of the agricultural labor force in developing countries, yet they account for less than 20 percent of landholders (FAO 2011). These disparities are even higher in some regions. In Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, 60 to 70 percent of employed women work in agriculture, with similar rates of land ownership (that is, less than 20 percent).
