Women and Land Tenure in China: A Study of Women’s Land Rights in Dongfang County, Hainan Province
on April 1, 2001
This report discusses women’s rights to land in China. The report is based on field research conducted in January 2000 in the city of Dongfang in the Hainan Province. It finds that granting women in China legal rights to land is unlikely to translate into sustained access and control over land resources unless and until these rights are both socially recognized and adequately enforced.
