Publication : "Anatomy of women’s landlessness in the patrilineal customary land tenure systems of sub-Saharan Africa and a policy pathway"
« Highlights
- The origin of women’s landlessness is traceable to the hegemonic masculinities sown by powerful empires from the ancient and medieval times.
- Three pillars of women’s landlessness in sub-Saharan Africa include gender insensitive worldviews, rights restrictions and male power.
- Male power has linguistic power and father-husband-son power, which interact to cripple women’s empowerment within their social spaces.
- A policy pathway to neutralise the pillars of women’s landlessness is to apply principles of gender compensation and abandon gender competition. »
