Abstract
In this chapter we will analyse land rights from a gender perspective in the context of Rwanda, a country characterized by extreme resource scarcity and societal disruption. The first section of this chapter begins by presenting how land rights for women have evolved within the customary system. Section two will look at the impact of formal legislation with regards to women’s inheritance and land rights up to early 2005, focusing especially on the inheritance law adopted in 1999.
