Lesotho: Lesotho aims to make women legally equal to men

Lesotho's government aims to give women full legal equality and property rights within a year in one of the handful of African states where women remain legally inferior to men. Women in the mountainous kingdom - one of the world's poorest countries and entirely circled by South Africa - can vote, work and hold public office, but they are legally minors, subordinate to their husbands or fathers.
