This book presents findings of case-studies of Malawian women who have encountered dispossession of matrimonial property when their husbands died.It provides a theoretical framework and definitions; outlines the causes of this practice, the form it takes and its harmful economic, psychological and physical effects; and discusses the cultural, economic and legal factors, which perpetrate it. The study then examines how the justice delivery system deals with the dispossession of widows as a form of gender-based violence, revealing how the present justice system, and structures of delivery fail to respond to this form of gender-based violence widely considered a violation of human rights. The study is collectively authored by researchers of WLSA-Malawi, and is their second publication, following In Search of Justice: Women and the Administration of Justice in Malawi (2000).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seodi Venekai-Rudo White, Dorothy Nyakaunda Kamanga, Tinyade Kachika\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9990816557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789990816556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kachere Series\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.32h x 6.10w x 0.32d","brand":"Seodi Venekai-Rudo White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47036536619263,"sku":"9789990816556","price":39.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52fc96a6-35f9-4f55-bcc4-285bfa3e0d90.jpg?v=1752637861","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dispossessing-the-widow-seodi-venekai-rudo-white-9789990816556","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
