Published: March 12, 2018, 6:29 p.m.

On this episode of Deeply Talks, which aired on the first day of the 62nd session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), our editors examine this year’s theme: rural women and girls. Senior Editor Jumana Farouky and Community Editor Jihii Jolly examine the key questions we’re going to be covering on this issue in the coming months, from obstacles to obtaining land rights, to challenges in accessing decent infrastructure, and the impact of climate change. We are joined by humanitarian leader Vivian Onano and Beth Roberts, Attorney and Land Tenure Specialist at the Landesa Center for Women's Land Rights.
