 There are so many challenges for those of us working to secure women's land rights, not least of all women's own confidence in their ability to know and claim their rights. For me, a big challenge is also to persuade land rights activists and policy makers to fully embrace gender equity in all aspects of land governance and to really put it front and centre. When we can all see that ensuring women's land rights is a necessary condition to ensuring land rights for everyone in the community, that it's in everyone's interests that men and women will benefit, then we will be much closer to success.
