Women
• In recent years, land conflicts have become an increasingly urgent issue across Uganda, affecting both rural and urban communities.
• At the heart of these disputes lies a troubling reality women are among the most vulnerable victims, with their rights to land and property being systematically violated.
• Despite constitutional protections and legal frameworks that affirm women’s land rights, the situation on the ground tells a different story.
• As land becomes more valuable and contested, women continue to face dispossession, marginalization, and injustice.
• These violations are not only perpetuated by private individuals and powerful elites but also, disturbingly, by government agencies tasked with protecting citizens’ rights.The violation of women’s land rights is not a new phenomenon in Uganda, but it has been exacerbated in recent years due to growing commercial interests, weak governance, and corruption within the land sector.
