Securing land rights for women digs down to the root of gender inequality; radically, quietly uprooting it, overturning it, elevating women toward equal legal personhood at household, community and societal levels.
Rapid urbanisation has put farmers’ land increasingly in the crosshairs of developers. Two recent changes to Chinese land laws seek to address land expropriation, and represent a milestone in protecting farmers from unjust practices.
The Wall Street Journal published a letter by Landesa CEO Chris Jochnick on new legislation in China that reins in land expropriation and provides greater protections for farmers.
Landesa China Program Director Li Ping writes about how changes to the 2019 amended Land Management Law and recently adopted implementing regulations create guardrails for farmers’ land rights in the context of land expropriation.
Join CEO Chris Jochnick for a virtual conversation across continents featuring our guest, Annie Chen of the RS Group, and Li Ping, Landesa’s China Program Director, as they discuss the evolution of our land rights work in China and what comes next.
Li Ping, China Program Director and Senior Policy Advisor based in Seattle, Washington, began working with Roy Prosterman and Tim Hanstad in 1987.
