dc.description.abstractGender-based violence (GBV) perpetuates inequality, particularly in land ownership, disadvantaging women in Sub-Saharan Africa. Despite policies to address GBV, women in patrilineal societies like rural Tanzania still face discrimination in accessing land. While studies have explored gender gaps in economic performance, little research examines how GBV impacts women’s land rights in these communities. This paper analyzes GBV’s implications using desk review data, revealing persistent discrimination despite Tanzania’s supportive policies. Key factors driving GBV and restricting land access are categorized as physical, socio-cultural, and individual. The study highlights how GBV reinforces systemic barriers, limiting women’s asset ownership. By identifying these factors, the paper provides insights into improving women’s empowerment and suggests policy measures to enhance their well-being. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address GBV and promote equitable land rights in Tanzania.
