Development policies in Tanzania ‐ some implications for women
探讨坦桑尼亚近年土地、村庄重新安置和住房政策对妇女的影响,指出传统上妇女因个人土地权享有较大自主权,但新政策基于男性户主假设,可能使妇女沦为依附者、丧失自主权。
Recent development policies in Tanzania, notably in the areas of land‐holding, re‐settlement of villages, and housing, may well have important implications for women. Under the traditional system, women enjoyed a relatively large degree of autonomy, particularly because of their rights to hold land as individuals, rather than through their husbands. Because many policies are based on the assumption that productive and consumption units are households headed by males, and because of the construction of a new form of ‘family’, there is a possibility that women will be re‐defined as dependents and thus lose much of their autonomy.
