Biting the feeding hand : voices of women on land
ActionAid International Uganda (AAIU) and Uganda Land Alliance (ULA) are pleased to publish, ‘Biting the Feeding Hand’ another booklet that documents women’s experiences on land rights in six districts of Uganda. While land is the most vital natural capital asset in Uganda, only 7% own land and therefore the majority have only user rights and cannot make decisions regarding its use. AAIU and ULA are concerned by this situation because of the direct linkage between women’s lack of secure access to land and poverty and development. Secondly, in Uganda today most women can only access land through their male relatives or spouses and as such land ownership is a privilege and not a right.
