Abstract

Development activities often ignore the position of women concerning land. The condition of the social structure and unbalanced relations in society makes women have a disadvantaged position in every policy issued. Therefore, this study aims to look at the position of women on land in the Toba Batak community. This research was conducted in 6 regencies in North Sumatra Province, including Toba Regency, North Tapanuli Regency, Samosir Regency, Humbang Hansuduntan Regency, Barus Regency, and Dairi Regency. A qualitative approach was used through interviews, observations, and Focus Group Discussions with 50 ordinary and key informants. This research is based on gender equality in society and equality of women’s rights in development. The conclusion of this study shows that Toba Batak women have an essential role in the existence of land owned by the family.
