O knihe

Women's equal rights to access, own and control land are cardinal in the fight against poverty. The right in access to and control over land and property is a determining factor in women's overall living conditions. In an effort to bring equal access to, and control over land between men and women, Zambia's Constitution recognises property rights and protects all individuals against deprivation of property.'Women and Land' is a unique and well written book.It provides a holistic picture of various issues surrounding women's acquisition of statutory land. The book looks at the available legal and institutional frame work and policies on gender and whether these have contributed to gender equality in statutory land acquisition or not. The book also looks at what women know about their land rights and the effects of this knowledge on statutory land acquisition. The book looks at the ways in which women are disadvantaged in their quest to acquire statutory land in Mumbwa district in Zambia.
