PROGRESS REPORT ON REMOVING DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN IN RESPECT OF PROPERTY & INHERITANCE RIGHTS - Tools on Improving Women’s Secure Tenure Series 1, Number 2  
Women own only an estimated 1-2 percent of all titled land worldwide which is often cited as an indication of low levels of inheritance of property1. Inheritance is one of the commonest ways for women to acquire or access land. Since women are not generally able to purchase property nor usually benefit from land reforms2, in most cases, a woman could become a only landowner by inheriting the land from her husband or companion on his death3.
