The Uganda Land Alliance recently conducted a field study in 8 districts to establish the progress women have made vis avis their rights to land. The districts covered were: Amuru, Apac, Gulu, Pader, Hoima, Kyenjojo, Mubende and Jinja.
Between May and July 2011, a Documentation Team embarked on field trips to the study districts and visited the individuals that were identified to have made gains in ‘fighting’ for their land rights. These persons were met in their respective homes and they shared their stories with the documentation team.
The detailed experiences captured from the cases have been published into a book titled, “A woman and Her Land-A ray of hope beacons”. This book contains the real life stories as told to the documentation team.
Also to accompany the book, a video documentary was captured and will soon be posted on U-tube for public access. Copies of the Documentary DVDs can be accessed on request.
You can also get a hard copy of the book by visiting our offices or send us your physical or and postal address and we’ll get it to you.
As usual, we appreciate your comments on this work because it’s the fuel that drives our efforts forward. Kindly write to us and let us know what you think about anything in the book, including but not limited to content and the design. The first 100 respondents will receive a printed copy of the book at their doorsteps if you provide us with your physical and postal addresses.
