Governments and international development agencies have made housing the urban poor a priority, but few focus on women's needs. Based on research conducted in Ahmedabad in collaboration with the Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA), this book maps the constraints and opportunities that low-income women throughout the Global South face in securing property, which remains overwhelmingly in male hands. Their experiences and vulnerabilities open a window to assess not only land tenure and property laws but also potential solutions such as microcredit financing and diverse theoretical approaches to gender and development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of British Columbia Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891231146135,"sku":"9780774819282","price":4442.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780774819282.webp?v=1781182770","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/women-and-property-in-urban-india-9780774819282","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
