Incorporating Economic Research on Gender Relations[edit]

Besides the need for more consistent citations in the article, I think it would be really interesting to put some information about Cecile Jackson's research on Bagisu women's bargaining power within the household. Women have a much stronger fallback position and thus greater bargaining strength because the stigma of divorce affects men more than women. A woman can readily divorce and remarry but for a man, a divorce means societal shame. Due to this, the intrahousehold balance of power is much more uncertain than in most African nations and improves conditions for women. Inclusion of some of this information would be a compelling start to expanding this article and giving more than a cursory look at the Bagisu people. Jmekoenig (talk) 02:55, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
