Across Zimbabwe, women produce the majority of the country's food yet own and control only a fraction of the land they work. Some 86% of women live in rural areas and depend on land for their livelihoods, but land audits show that women have received only a small share of land allocated under resettlement models, despite making up over half the population and providing the bulk of the agricultural labour force. This imbalance leaves women without secure tenure, without a voice in the institutions that govern land and agricultural policy, and without fair access to the resources and markets that would let them thrive.

Women are the backbone of agriculture in Zimbabwe's rural communities, yet limited land rights continue to undermine food security and livelihoods, while worsening droughts, floods, and crop failures deepen their vulnerability to climate change. Too often, women's voices are missing from the decision making spaces that shape their futures.

The SAFE4ALL project for Zimbabwe is a critical response to the pressing issues of food insecurity, disaster management, and migration that are increasingly being compounded by climate change.
