Uganda: Land Ownership Still Eludes Women

Deborah, 46 cohabited with a man for eight years then separated after producing two bouncing boys. Her sister Anatasia, 40, separated after cohabiting for years and producing three daughters. Both of them returned to their parents in Kabermaido, where they were allocated a plot of land. However, last year their brothers evicted them on grounds that they had no right to inherit an inch of their father's land. Now they are not only landless but have no home.
