This report aims to provide answers to three broad questions:

  • Do women feel more insecure than men about their land and property rights?
  • Can women's tenure security be strengthened and protected through increased statutory protections for women by carving out explicit legal recognition of women as spouses/inheritors and framing this in joint titling/inheritance law?
  • What implications do the findings have for policy to improve women's tenure security?
