Tanzania is expected to finalize a new constitution by April next year and women who carry out 60 percent of the country's agricultural labor will be anxiously watching to see if their land rights are strengthened. "Women should be given the right to own the land because many women around this village are being oppressed by their husbands，" Msaudzi says emphatically， through a Swahili translator， as we sit on the low， foam pads that serve as her sofa in this modest， mud-brick home. "What they get from their farm， they just use the money for their own and not for the whole family." Of the five acres of land that Msaudzi's husband left when he died， she now has access to one acre， where she grows maize. Title to the other four acres has passed to one of her five living children. As the country now works to rewrite its constitution， strengthening women's land rights is a top priority for feminist groups， which have been lobbying a 30-member Constitutional Review Commission expected to issue a final report shortly， with a referendum before the next election.
