>1700 women with access to alternative livelihood opportunity and a sustainable income stream

Women are being recognized and celebrated as leaders in KSWS through new livelihoods and leadership opportunities. The efforts to strengthen tenure rights and reduce landlessness is being led by a young Indigenous woman, Danh Salon from the Indigenous Community Land area of O Chra. Through her work, the project is supporting Indigenous communities to register their traditional land as well as protecting and conserving their natural resources. After taking on her new role, Salon brought her community together to discuss the risk of their communal land ownership and encouraged them to stay united in efforts to protect their community land from being grabbed through the land demarcation process.
