Abstract
The issue of women’s access to land is important for Senegal where 20 % of PIB (produit intérieur brut /gross domestic product) is from agriculture; 60 % of Senegalese are farmers and among them 53% are women. This study consisted of 1800 participants; 1200 women and 600 men, divided between 14 regions, with cartographic information on land rights. The research shows that where the principal mode of appropriation is inheritance, women are not allowed to have control of resources, or they are excluded. Women are less informed about national laws regarding land tenure than men in all research zones.
