  • Rights and Reality: Are women’s equal rights to land, housing and property implemented in East Africa? (+)

    The case studies examine the current legislation and policies concerning land and housing rights, matrimonial property rights and rights to inheritance in Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya respectively, and describe what role women played in shaping the recently adopted land laws. Constraints in the implementation of these laws are also identified. At the end of each of these Chapters, the alternative role that NGOs and paralegal networks play in assisting with the implementation of women’s rights at grassroots levels is described.
