An Unfolded Kenyan Special Poster (measures 11 3/4" x 16 3/4" [30 x 43 cm]) (Learn More) Nimetokelezea (literally translates to "I Have Done It!"), the 1990s Kenyan poster created by the Federation of Women Lawyers, and encouraging men to accept that women can own, managed and inherit property. Kenyan women's rights to own and inherit property are challenged, threatened and suppressed by customs, laws, and individuals, such as government officials. Many leaders, both of the nation and individual households, believe women to be incompetent to manage land. This is juxtaposed by the fact that, in Africa, women constitute 70-90 percent of the agricultural labor force, meaning that they manage most of the lands already, but are made unable to own any. In addition, African women receive about 7% of agricultural extension services and 10% of credit for small-farmers. When women are widowed, they are often evicted from the lands and houses on which they reside, as they belonged to the husband, and women are not given any rights to the land. If a husband dies from an AIDS-related illness, wives are more often evicted with more vigor, as she is blamed for his death. Once evicted, some women end up begging for water and food, living in dangerous slums, and sleeping on cardboard with their children, who are also forced to leave school. Widows are entitled to none of their husband's estate or assets when they die, and so women are often left virtually powerless under the rules of their in-laws. Often the in-laws feel entitled to do whatever they will with their late sons wives, as they consider the dowry paid for the marriage to be an act of purchasing the woman. Divorced women often leave marriages with no property or items at all. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
