To determine the factors which inhibit women’s participation in the land reform programmes;
To stimulate national awareness and debate on women’s rights in land and related matters;
To explore women’s relationship to land;
To determine women’s hopes and expectations in relation to land reform;
To facilitate an evaluation of land reform policies and programmes;
To enhance the relationship between all stakeholders with regard to women’s access to land” (Mogale and Phoshoko 1997, 66).
