Statutory laws should be written in simple and engendered language to avoid generalities that reinforce discrimination. Colonialism in Africa altered the status of men and women vis-à-vis land and tenure: rigid sexual division of labour presented the man as the breadwinner and women as the home manager. By extension, the introduction of a market economy gave men control of the land. Decentralized power structures are needed, with enough resources to issue land titles and joint land titles.Text1 digital file (14 p. : ill.)enCUSTOMARY LAWWOMEN'S RIGHTSLAND OWNERSHIPLAND TENUREGENDER DISCRIMINATIONCAMEROONOWNERSHIPLAND TITLESMARITAL STATUSLAND ADMINISTRATIONSOUTH OF SAHARAPresentation
