Women’s land rights, access to land and perceptions on land tenure in Southern Africa: the case of Zambia Women’s land rights and their access to land are at the core of women’s livelihoods in rural Southern Africa. Despite women being the major agricultural producers, there are discrepancies between men and women’s rights of access to land. The proposed research takes place in Zambia’s Southern Province and aims to investigate the ways in which women obtain access to land, and more importantly their own perceptions of this access. Looking at different categories of women, it will focus on the role of social factors and wider power relations mediating access to land and shaping the importance of access to land to women. |
