ABSTRACT

The research was focused on women and their right to property; an

examination of the law and policy in Uganda. The study was carried out with

the hope that it enlightens and advance the understanding of women's property

rights in Uganda as provided for in the laws. The study is as a result of

observation of the apparent injustice against women in particular the denial of

women to own property emerging as a result of exploitation of the loopholes in

the statutory laws in place that provide for the rights of ownership of property

by women in Uganda as well as customary law that is so prevalent among

Ugandans today.
