A new report has been released, unpacking the concept of family homes in townships and informal settlements. One of the key findings of the report is that women are often the primary occupants of these shared familial homes and become adversely affected when a family disputes arises. Through intersectional analysis, the report unpacks customary beliefs surrounding property by virtue of a family home, how our courts have  approached family home disputes and how overlapping legal systems contribute to disadvantaging women from tenure security.
