Last night’s Together Women Rise advocacy webinar inspired our advocacy team, including many who joined us for the first time.

The Landesa Center for Women’s Land Rights works globally to elevate and catalyze the voices and leadership of grassroots women and women-led organizations who are driving the movement on land rights at local and national levels to realize both gender and climate justice.
