   OVERVIEW: Cambodia is a largely agrarian country that emerged from a history of political strife and instability into a period of steady economic growth. However, the country started from such a low base that even after a decade of growth averaging 7% per annum, GDP is only $650. Cambodia is ranked 176th out of 213 countries in terms of purchasing-power parity. Poverty rates have reduced somewhat, but they remain higher than in most countries in the region and are only slightly lower than in Laos.

   In 2010, the ILC Secretariat decided to update information contained in the 2004 publication, so as to have a new basis to work more closely with and through CEDAW at national level. The update gives more visibility to the CEDAW Committee’s Concluding Observations and, accordingly, also to the CSOs’ shadow reports feeding them. This inclusion offers a more critical and comprehensive, if preliminary, overview of the situation of rural women in selected countries. NOTE: The 2004 publication is also available through this site.

   Burma is situated in Southeastern Asia, bordering Bangladesh, India, China, Laos and Thailand. The majority of its population lives in rural areas and depends on land as a primary means of livelihood. Because all land in Burma ultimately belongs to the state, citizens and organizations depend upon use-rights, but do not own land. Burma’s laws grant women equal rights in some respects and also recognize certain customary laws that provide women equal rights in relation to land.

   Before 1999, land rights in Rwanda were governed by three regimes: customary
   (traditional) law, colonial laws still in effect, and laws enacted after independence. In each of
   these, men were privileged in ownership and control of land whereas women were excluded
   or had fewer rights.
   The 1999 Succession Law restructured and harmonized land ownership in Rwanda,
   superseding all prior legislation. A significant portion of these changes related to gender
   equality. Equal rights to umunani (umunani or ascending partition is an act accomplished by

   attitudes and mindsets of men and boys about gender-equal land rights to overcome

   In Africa, land has an emotional and mystical value beyond the economic consideration and
   represents the social security and the continuity and independence of a family. In much of rural
   Africa, land constitutes the primary source from which millions of people derive their daily
   livelihoods (Bhandari 2001)

   . In sub-Saharan Africa, women contribute between 60-80% of labor
   used to produce food for both household consumption and sale to agricultural production while
   women’s access to and control over land in Africa remains minimal (FAO, 1998).

    To say that access to land is one of the most important conditions for the
    empowerment of African women, would be an understatement. The cultivation of land is one
    of the main sources of income and economic wealth depends strongly on a well-elaborated
    system of land tenure. However, developing and protecting land rights1
    for women in mainly
    male-dominated societies is a long-term work. Even though law initiatives2 may guarantee a
    de jure equal access to land for women, the outcome highly depends on the way the culturebound
