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.1 digital file (14 p. : ill.)application/pdfenACCESS TO INFORMATIONGENDER DISCRIMINATIONRURAL COMMUNITIESWOMEN'S RIGHTSOWNERSHIPLAND TENUREWOMEN IN AGRICULTURELAND RIGHTSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONFOOD SECURITYCUSTOMARY LAWINHERITANCESENEGALSOUTH OF SAHARAPresentation
