The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 prohibits discrimination on grounds of gender and promotes equality between men and women. This is relevant to the unequal access to land between males and females as it provides a legal framework to address and rectify historical injustices, including discriminatory land ownership practices that have disadvantaged women. The Constitution empowers the government to implement policies and programs that promote gender equality in land ownership and ensure that both men and women have equal access to and control over land resources.
