Nothing more has made the average people afraid than the absolute right of equality in sharing property. Over time and since time immemorial, the man has grab for himself a lot of power, wealth, authority and fame, and anything which is not like him will not be entitled to the privileges a man is supposed to have. Instead of using his power, authority and wealth to uplift and empower the unprivileged like women in the society, man has decided to use his power and authority to undermine the woman and labelling her to be second class citizen and the woman is therefore seen to be below the standard of the man. Women at all material times have been equated to property, and lesser human beings compared to men. As result society has labeled them to be stupid, and people who cannot comprehend difficult things. All these beliefs about women are the principle reasons why, they have been assigned roles that are considered to be inferior to those of men in the marriage institution. Throughout history, the woman is not allowed to own property since she was equated to property and things like inheritance rights are strictly restricted to the male gender, and matrimonial property is regarded to be for the man because the non-financial contribution of the woman is considered to be inferior and therefore unequal to the man. Such beliefs have given the man a superior position in the family, and the man has decided to use his superiority to beat and torture the woman hence leading to domestic violence. The suffering of the Woman caught the attention of the United Nations to adopt and to bring into force CEDAW to address the crisis of property faced by women in the marriage institution and advancing the principle that, Men and Women should be equal in the marriage institution. The researcher’s aim is therefore to investigate whether the law has effectively addressed the issue of rights of women to property in marriage and divorce.

The objective of the study was to determine the impact of environmental laws in combating environmental crimes in Uganda with specific reference to Bukedea district. This included determination of factors affecting environmental crime management, causes of environmental crime, establishment of the nature and extent of environmental crime. All these assisted in understanding impact of environmental laws in combating environmental crimes in Uganda. Research questions which the study attempted to answer include what factors affect environmental crime management, the causes of environmental crime, the nature and the extent of environmental crime and the effectiveness of environmental crime management in Uganda. A conceptual framework was used to simplify the relationship between variables in the study. The relationship shows that environmental crime management in Uganda faces several challenges that in varied ways hinder proper environmental crime management. The methodology adopted during the study included desk top review of existing scholarly materials for secondary data and focused group discussions for primary data. The respondents were also made aware of the purpose of the research and informed on how and when they will get feedback of the study. The study concludes that lack of understanding of the long term effects of environmental crimes among key stakeholders has led to crimes being treated as misdemeanors thus attracting low penalties if any, hence resulting in poor management of the crime. The study recommends that the process of enacting legislation on environmental crime should be all inclusive, adopting a wider consultative approach. The study encourages the strengthening of environmental crime management policies. At the moment environmental crime management is a loose concept with weak policy. Environmental crimes should be addressed by policy and legislation that ensures that local communities benefit from the country‘s natural resources so that they value and protect them. Environmental crime management should be greatly enhanced by improving the capacity of the environmental law enforcement officials and other stakeholders through training.
