Abstract
The research aimed at investigating the extent of the Legal framework on land registration in Uganda. It strived at the exploration of the legal and institutional framework governing the land. Laws and the right to land registration is enforced in Uganda. It also expounds on the conflicts between the provisions of the Land Amendment Act and tenure system, the gaps between the exploitation of land tenure systems and other related laws in Uganda. Land tenure thus constitutes a web of intersecting interest, and these include; Overriding interests, overlapping interests: when several parties are allocated different rights to the same parcel of land, complementary interests: when different parties share the same interest In the same parcel of land, competing interests: when different parties contest the same interest in the same parcel. And majorly land disputes arise from competing claims. This research was carried out in Uganda and it brings out the different literature related to land registration and human rights concerning women and children and how they can be preserved in relation to land law in Uganda. Finally, the report concludes and recommends to the various stakeholders on what is to be done and what needs to be implemented so that both women and children enjoy their rights and freedom in relation to land matters.
