Abstract
The study aims to illustrate how women’s entitlements are mediated through sub-national/ethnic citizenship and the implications that this has on their national citizenship, where citizenship is critical for entitlements, participation and protection of women. The presentation provides information regarding women in pastoralist communities. National laws and policies increasingly recognise women’s rights and marginalised communities’ rights to land and land-based resources. More research is necessary to examine the implementation of new policy.
