Women from across Liberia are pushing for more rights in acquiring ownership of land as compared to their male counterparts.

In observance of rural women land rights day held on Wednesday, September 25, the women voiced out, calling on the government and its partners to provide opportunities that will enhance their capacity in acquiring land or property void of hindrances.

The celebration coincided with the ongoing second national Land Conference in Ganta, Nimba County.

The Chairperson of the Civil Society Council of Liberia Ms. Loretta Pope Kai began the advocacy by calling for more support for rural women, youth and people with disabilities land rights.
