Unclear land rights, overlapping land claims and uncertain land security have characterised the history of South Sudan, and being exacerbated by the regular cycles of violence. By taking the cities of Torit and Wau between 2021 and 2022 as case studies, this article considers the practical interventions for land justice and the dynamics of land justice in South Sudan. This is done by conducting qualitative research with a focus on: (a) providing an overview of land administration in South Sudan, (b) investigating land-dispute resolution mechanisms, and (c) considering women’s land rights in South Sudan in customary and statutory systems, the paths available for women to claim their rights, and women’s voices and roles in positions of leadership.
