MONROVIA, Aug. 11 -- House Speaker Richard Nagbe Koon has vowed to champion legislative reforms aimed at empowering rural women and strengthening land rights across Liberia. His pledge came after receiving the 2024 Rural Women Land Rights Day (RWLRD) Report, a comprehensive document detailing the persistent challenges and recommendations for change.

The report, presented by a coalition of partners led by ForumCiv on Friday, August 8, 2025, at the Capitol Building, calls on the government to take concrete action to address the structural barriers preventing rural women from owning and benefiting from land. The coalition includes influential groups such as ActionAid Liberia, among others.
