REVISED LIST
OF DOCUMENTS SPECIFICALLY RELATING TO GENDER AND LAND ON THE OXFAM GB ‘LAND
RIGHTS IN AFRICA’ WEBSITE

January 2006
I’ve
consciously tried to build up a collection on gender and land on this website,
and, having had some success, it seemed worthwhile compiling (and subsequently
updating) this list, which comprises pieces with ‘gender’ or ‘women’ in the
title – obviously many others tackle gender issues too. In the interests of
brevity, I’ve not included the summaries of the documents - these appear on the
website.
