Women suffer from discrimination and abuse the world over. This video shows how customary practices destroy the life of women. In most societies, women married under customary law have no rights at all. The recent Botswana High Court judgement on the rights of women to inherit under customary law marks a shift in the unjustifiable practice that undermined women. I hope this judgment will influence other jurisdictions around the globe to ensure that women enjoy the same rights as their male counterparts.
