Q&A with three rural women from Tolima about claiming their land rights and inspiring women in their communities

USAID Land for Prosperity Activity and Colombia’s Land Restitution Unit delivered workshops to empower rural women about property rights, land ownership, the care economy, and gender-based violence.

The workshops were part of the massive land formalization campaign in Ataco Municipality, Tolima. The women who participated were involved in land restitution and formalization processes and will replicate the knowledge with other women from their communities. In interview transcripts, three women talk about their experiences.
