This policy brief examines the challenges and barriers faced by women in Zimbabwe regarding land tenure security. Despite constitutional guarantees and international commitments to promote gender equality, Zimbabwean women continue to face significant hurdles in securing land ownership and control. The brief highlights how cultural norms, patriarchal practices, and inadequate legal frameworks contribute to the systemic marginalization of women in land allocation processes. Customary laws and inheritance practices often prioritize male heirs, sidelining women and limiting their land rights. The brief stresses the importance of aligning legal and policy measures with constitutional provisions to protect women’s land rights effectively. It urges the establishment of gender-responsive land institutions and enforcement of joint land ownership laws to ensure equal inheritance rights. Additionally, the brief calls for capacity-building programs to empower women with the necessary knowledge and skills to claim their land rights and engage in land-related decision-making. It underscores the role of traditional leaders in modifying cultural norms and the necessity of multi-stakeholder collaborations to hold institutions accountable for women’s land rights. Ultimately, the brief argues that addressing women’s land tenure challenges is crucial not only for social justice but also for enhancing women’s economic empowerment and contributing to sustainable development in Zimbabwe
