WLSA TO HOLD NATIONAL SEMINAR ON INHERITANCE
	The Women and Law in Southern Africa (WLSA)-Lesotho will hold a three-day national seminar on property and inheritance rights for women and girls at Victoria Hotel in Maseru from August 20. WLSA Legal Officer, Ms. Puseletso Sello says the purpose of the seminar is to collect views on issues relating to property and inheritance rights especially for women and girls. She said participants will be briefed on two forms of marriage, customary and common law adding that topics to be discussed will include among others; dispossession of property and inheritance. Ms. Sello indicated that the seminar will put more focus on women and girls as they have no rights to own or inherit property as they are still regarded as perpetual minors in the families. She further said the training will be attended by different sectors of the community who will be drawn from various districts of the country. Sensitization workshops on the same issues have already been held in the districts since September last year. WLSA is a research trust formed in 1989 to deal with issues relating to women abuse and promotion of their rights.
