KELIN spearheads conversations on the impact of social norms on land rights through community radio (two)

Between 10^th August and 2^nd September 2020, KELIN will be sharing our experiences in challenging discriminative social norms that impact women land tenure through Sky FM (106.1 FM). The later is a community radio station with listenership in both Kisumu and Homa Bay counties. The radio campaign will be through mentions, infomercials and live interviews focused on securing your family’s future in furtherance of women land and property rights.

The objectives of this campaign are:

1. To make the public aware of the underlying barriers in women’s land and property rights and their diverse impacts on their rights;
2. To enhance the capacity of the women to claim their rights to land and property; and
3. To sensitize the public on the actions they can take to secure their property rights for the good of the community.

KELIN is focusing to increase women’s access to use of, ownership of, control of and decision making about land matters through the theory of change logic.

As a result, KELIN will explore how inequitable social norms about gender equality and women’s land rights can be changed by facilitating discussions on co-registering a marriage, register or co-register land, make a will and mediation for depute resolution.

To contribute to the discussions on this forum, follow KELIN on our social media platforms using the hashtags: #SecureYourFamilysFuture and #WLPRights.
