商品描述
This book presents an extensive study of women's involvement in agricultural activities at the family level in rural Bangladesh, with a particular emphasis on their participation in decision-making. The authors examine the extent to which women are involved in decision-making regarding agricultural practices at family level. In addition to examining women's contributions to various agricultural tasks, the research expands its scope to include discussions on gender inequality and empowerment, integrating these concepts into the decision-making framework. The authors argue that true participation should not only address the involvement of women in agriculture but also consider their influence on decision-making processes. They stress the importance of factors such as autonomy, control over resources, and self-confidence, which play a crucial role in shaping women's decision-making ability within the family. Moreover, the research identifies several key barriers to participation, including entrenched patriarchal norms, societal cultural expectations, and institutional challenges, which hinder women's active involvement in decision-making. The authors advocate for policy reforms and institutional changes to address these challenges, urging government bodies to align policies with their recommendations. The book provides valuable insights for policymakers, government officials, and NGOs working to promote gender-based approach and improve women's empowerment in rural communities.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書深入研究了孟加拉鄉村家庭中女性參與農業活動的情況，特別強調她們在決策過程中的參與程度。作者探討了女性在家庭層面上對農業實踐決策的參與程度。除了檢視女性對各種農業任務的貢獻外，研究還擴展到性別不平等和賦權的討論，將這些概念融入決策框架中。作者主張，真正的參與不僅應該關注女性在農業中的參與，還應考慮她們對決策過程的影響。他們強調自主權、資源控制和自信心等因素的重要性，這些因素在塑造女性在家庭中決策能力方面扮演著關鍵角色。此外，研究還識別了幾個參與的主要障礙，包括根深蒂固的父權規範、社會文化期望和制度挑戰，這些都妨礙了女性在決策中的積極參與。作者呼籲進行政策改革和制度變革，以應對這些挑戰，並敦促政府機構將政策與其建議對齊。本書為政策制定者、政府官員和非政府組織提供了寶貴的見解，旨在促進基於性別的方法並改善鄉村社區中女性的賦權。
