Nigeria Pushes For Women’s Property Rights At UN by superson001(m): 8:54am On Mar 16, 2017 |
Nigeria has led advocacy campaign for the promotion of women’s property rights in Africa, saying it is a panacea to achieving women economic empowerment in the continent. The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, hosted Africa’s women parliamentarians at a side event at the ongoing UN Commission on the Status of Women in NewYork. Orelope-Adefulire regretted that women were still discriminated against in Africa in the area of rights to inherit property. “Women are special; we should be celebrated everyday and there is no reason why our rights should be eroded. “The laws that give rights to men, the same laws give rights to women. So we must come together to protect the rights of women in Africa,” she said.

I bbelieve that more should be done in sensitizing parents about making wills and directly leaving properties for the girl-child, even if married. She will always be a member of the family. |

.Any culture that permits women's property rights have it's own disadvantages How would such a woman concentrate at her new home or show obedience to her husband hence she knows she can survive without him Nollywood actresses hardly endure the challenges of marriage because of fame and wealth they have acquired Linda Ikeji is another wealthy woman whose marriage many people would like to observe in that regard . |
