Anyone who declares himself/herself to be a feminist cannot fail to recognize the connection between women's rights and the right to land. - Dzodzi Tsikata

In Ghana, women produce in their communities until they get married. To live with their spouses, they leave their communities and go abroad in the new community and access to the land is mediated by their husbands. Then, when women grow old, if they don't have any men, they can lose access to the land. If they get divorced, they lose it automatically.

It was an important initiative because it opened up space for women to participate in public life. In the 60s there were many affirmative initiatives to ensure that women were represented in Parliament.

The struggle for land is essentially feminist.
