(KPL/Prensa Latina) The National Land Agency (ANT) of Colombia held several events today in which it delivered and formalized a total of five thousand 524 hectares of land to more than 700 peasant women from nine departments of the country.

 

The farmers received the lands on occasion of the celebration of the International Day of Rural Women, proclaimed by the United Nations Organization to highlight the contribution of these women to rural development.

 

According to the agency, both the deliveries and formalizations respond to the fundamental axis of the Agrarian Reform, which seeks to guarantee women access to land under conditions of equality, recognizing their leading role in the progress of the Colombian countryside.

 

As part of the celebration, the head of the ANT Planning Office, Lizeth Flórez, declared that, with the transfer of the land, the Government accelerates the guarantee of the right to ownership, use and enjoyment of the land that rural women have as indispensable subjects for the democratization of the agricultural sector in the nation.
