Recommendation
AI mentioned that section 20 of the Native Lands Act (NLA) discriminates against a woman's right to custody of her child and that Land Inheritance laws are also discriminatory in that a larger portion of land is given to the sons than the daughters. The LLP urged the Government of Tuvalu, as a matter of priority, to amend the NLA and Tuvalu Lands Code that discriminate against women and disadvantage children. [Para 7]
