Up to 93% of women in Uganda are landless, the parliamentary women's association vice-chairperson, Loice Biira Bwambale, says. Bwambale was recently delivering a paper on land ownership and women rights in Uganda at a workshop organised by the Ugandan women parliamentarians association and the European parliamentarians for Africa. She blamed the discrepancy on negative traditional practices which exclude women in land ownership.
