Abstract
This project explores women’s rights and customary law in South Africa, and compares regions where land tenure and access may be mitigated by local history and customs. It focuses on land rights, but includes related issues of inheritance, marriage and involvement in decision making processes. Preliminary analysis of the survey results has begun.
