A robust and effective legal system based on the rule of law is central to assisting women to become equal partners in decision-making and development.

The report examines how serious shortcomings in government policy and mining companies’ (Vale, Riversdale, Rio Tinto) implementation uprooted largely self-sufficient farming communities and resettled them to arid land far from rivers and markets.
