Descripción
Women’s economic empowerment is essential in promoting equality between women and men and a precondition for sustainable development. Women’s economic empowerment can be achieved through equal access to and control over economic resources and opportunities and the elimination of structural gender inequalities. Women and men’s de jure access to land is regulated by the formal legal system (constitutions or laws) that grant gender equality in access to land but there are laws for marriage, divorce and inheritance contradict these laws by discriminating against women and daughters.Whilst women’s land rights are vital to development, the reality remains that these rights are often unequally shared between men and women, and are routinely set aside, denied, or given insufficient protection and enforcement.
