Role of Gender Policies and Laws in Enhancing Women’s Participation in the Resolution of Land Conflicts

Rendering Justice to the Vulnerable

On one side of the ravine, a jungle stretches out as far as the eye can see; a jungle which is ruled by the laws of the fittest; laws that have no regard for justice and vulnerability.
