In rural areas, custom prohibits married women from having access to land. The acquisition of land under statutory law is difficult for women. Titles can only be acquired through a bureaucratic centralized system and fees are high Seite 10 5
6 Gender dimensions in Zambia Gender Based Violence Women aged are more at risk from rape and domestic violence than from cancer, car accidents, war and malaria In 2010, 8673 cases of GBV have been reported to the police in Zambia. A health survey revealed that 47% of all women had reported to have experienced GBV. It results that two million women, out of the six million women in Zambia, have experienced GBV. This is 210 times the number that was reported to the police. Most of the cases of GBV are not reported to the police. Many forms of GBV do not come out of police reports, such as psychological or economical abuse. Anti-GBV legislation enacted in April 2011, but so far not implemented Seite 11 Gender dimensions in Zambia National Policies and Instruments National Gender Policy (NGP 2000) Sixth National Development Plan (SNDP ) Zambian Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) Amendments of Penal Code Constitution, article 23 Anti-Gender Based Violence Act (Anti-GBV Act 2011) Gender policies implemented by ministries (education, health) Gender and Child Development Division (Gender Focal Points ministries, provincial and district level) Seite 12 6
