The Seattle Times, with support from The Seattle International Foundation (also one of my primary funders), has produced a beautiful and in-depth report on the work of Landesa promoting land rights for women in India. It’s a great read, written by Melissa Allison and photographed by Erika Shultz.

Landesa has been around a long time, formerly known as as the Rural Development Institute, and was founded by former University of Washington law professor Roy Prosterman (who I’ve had occasion to write about many times before, such as this post called Land Reform and Bulletproof Vests). The Times did a good profile of Roy as well. Erika’s blog as a photographer is also worth a look.
