Researcher claims women marginalised in Solomons land rights disputes
Updated
The question of land rights and ownership has at times sparked violence in parts of the Pacific, with logging in particular highlighting the conflict between traditional ownership and a market economy brought on by overseas demand for timber products. In Solomon Islands a researcher from the Australian National University says women are still being marginalised when it comes to the question of land rights. Researcher Rebecca Monson says few females are involved in the decision making process which will continue to have a detrimental impact on society.
