Effects of Land Conflicts on Women

By Tomia Zongkazih Eka Chu

This book explores the effects of land conflicts on women, a case study of Alhadji Baba Amadou Danpullo (BAD) and the Esu people in the North West Region of Cameroon. It analyses the effects of land conflicts on women in this area, as they are the people who mostly cultivate this land even though they do not own it. After carrying out some interviews with community members, government officials, traditional leaders, Baba's supporters and Esu elite, the study in this book summarizes an understanding of the effects of land conflicts on women in this community. Our focus is on how the women in this community got involved in this conflict, starting from the origin and providing an account of the sufferings of women stemming from the land conflicts. They are deprived from the land that they cultivate and therefore, get no food for their families. Although the men are fighting hard to put an end to this conflict, women are also taking action. It is even said that, women are the majority of people that take action to bring the conflict to an end. This brought us to some recommendations for the conflict resolution at the end of the research work.
