The status of women's land rights in Zimbabwe is the result of various legal interventions and historical, social, economic, demographic and climatic processes within and outside the country. The interventions produced diverse tenure types, cultural practices and resistance that mediate the way in which the processes impact on the specific land rights of women. A focus on state-led interventions based on the Constitution and other statutory processes encountered by women in diverse land tenure types in Zimbabwe reveals the progress and challenges of Constitution-based interventions and the lived experiences of women's land tenure security. The paper illustrates how administration, failure of implementation and inequitable access to agrarian resources undermine women's control, ownership and capacity to benefit from land in Zimbabwe.
