| dc.description | In Senegal, despite the existence of legal provisions and international commitments aimed at promoting gender equality in land rights, women continue to face significant challenges in accessing and controlling land. While the Constitution of 2001 explicitly prohibits gender discrimination in matters of property rights, traditional practices and patriarchal norms often limit women's access to land. Traditionally, land is a collective family asset under the control of the head of household, and the rights obtained by women are generally temporary and secondary in nature, with women rarely receiving full administrative rights to the land. Additionally, women's limited knowledge of land access procedures and the influence of patriarchal norms contribute to their marginalization in land matters. To overcome these constraints, women are creating their own strategies, such as collective access. This Gender-Land Gap analysis is in two parts: first, a report outlining the key issues and constraints for women’s land rights in Senegal along with a set of recommendations to improve the situation for women’s land rights in Senegal; and second, a catalog of interventions that support women’s land rights and can be scaled up in | |
