Abstract

The study is an endeavor to contribute to the impact developing social circumstances regarding land ownership among women and its relation to gender equality. The purpose of this research debunks the factors effecting women land ownership and their impact on socio-economic equality. A survey was done among 100 women of a remote village, in southern Lalitpur regarding land ownership, with relation to variables such as level of education of women, ethnicity, age, presence of legal documents, knowledge of government policies, and family structure. Factors such as occupation of women, role in household decision making, and involvement in social and political spheres were also studied in relation to their land ownership. The survey was done with purposive and proportional stratified sampling among ethnic communities of Brahmin/Chhetri and Janajati. A questionnaire survey, key informant survey, focus group discussion and in-depth case study were done. Twenty-one percent of the females interviewed had land on their own and this data also had a variation with ethnic communities. It was found that women with land feel confident in the social and economic sphere of society. Brahmin community was found to be more aware of the government policies encouraging female land ownership than the Janajati community. This study aims to add knowledge on the conversation in gender equality and its relation to land and property ownership.
尼泊尔妇女的土地所有权和性别平等
这项研究是为了促进发展中的社会环境对妇女土地所有权的影响及其与两性平等的关系。这项研究的目的是揭露影响妇女土地所有权的因素及其对社会经济平等的影响。对拉利特普尔南部一个偏远村庄的100名妇女进行了一项关于土地所有权的调查,调查涉及妇女的教育水平、种族、年龄、是否有法律文件、对政府政策的了解和家庭结构等变量。还研究了妇女的职业、在家庭决策中的作用以及在社会和政治领域的参与等与她们的土地所有权有关的因素。该调查是在婆罗门/切特里和Janajati民族社区中进行的有目的和比例分层抽样。通过问卷调查、关键信息调查、焦点小组讨论和深入的案例研究。21%的受访女性拥有自己的土地,这一数据也因种族社区而异。据发现,有土地的妇女对社会的社会和经济领域感到自信。婆罗门社区比Janajati社区更了解政府鼓励女性拥有土地的政策。本研究旨在增加关于性别平等及其与土地和财产所有权关系的对话的知识。
