“Property rights can improve a woman's ability to stand up to violence in the home. You might think education and employment are important because they give women exit options, but property is as well.

This gives husbands strong incentives to not beat them.” ThinkingGivingWellsImportantHomeMightStrongAbilityRightsViolenceLandHusbandEqualBeatsPropertyEmploymentAssetsIncentivesExitProperty Rights Author:Martha C.
