Amid the celebration of the UN Women-led 16 Days of Activism, a group representing rural women in Liberia has presented a list of demands for increased access to land rights. The demands are contained in a charter that was drafted at the Kilimanjaro Initiative held in Tanzania in October. At the October conference, African women, including Liberia’s Marie Clarke, climbed the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro as a symbol of advancing their voices in demanding their rights. On November 25, Liberian women presented the charter to the government of Liberia through Montserrado’s superintendent.
