We've added a link to the Paper and both the Honduras and Nigeria Case Studies to our Key Documents on the…

On the 12th October four Botswana sisters won the legal right to inherit their father's estate, that's good news for them and for women across Africa. In a groundbreaking case, Judge Key Dingake ruled that customary rule law (which would have forced the sisters to leave the home in favour of a male relative) was anti-constitutional violating their right to equality under section 3(a) of the Constitution.
Whilst remaining mindful of the need to be vigilant as we hear of the possible…
