What is stopping women in Africa from inheriting land?
鈥淎ll the land that my family owned was handed over to my one uncle, my three aunties plus my mum got nothing. He鈥檚 handed it to his two sons, none to his six daughters.鈥�

Alan Kasujja finds out what is stopping women from inheriting land with the help of Esther Mwaura-Muiru, the Global Advocacy Director for the 鈥楽tand For Her Land鈥� Campaign, and Bankolay Theodore Turay, a researcher on women鈥檚 land rights in Sierra Leone.
