Though being married to a land owner, women often do not inherit land if the spouse passes away. How can we protect them from land grabbing? In this episode, Charity and Phillip invited Eva Oryem and Charles Ochan, both members of the 'Innovations for Rural Development CoP' to discuss mobilization of women and awareness raising on land rights through community dialogues and interface meetings.
