Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Improving Connectivity to Support Livelihoods and Gender Equality project (JFPR 9143) sought to to improve connectivity and quality of life of conflict-affected and isolated poor communities in selected districts of the Eastern and North Central provinces of Sri Lanka, and supported the rehabilitation of over 290 kilometers of rural access roads. Rehabilitated and improved rural roads are beneficial to women, girls, men, and boys, as travel becomes convenient, faster, and safer, with better access to social services, such as education and health care. Business owners can gain access to new markets for their products. However, given gender roles, relations, and inequalities, investments in rural roads result in different constraints and opportunities for women, girls, men, and boys.

Book excerpt: Northern Sri Lanka has been at the heart of the country’s 30-year civil war, a bloody conflict which has given rise to an estimated 40,000 households headed by women in this region. Based on fieldwork conducted in 10 villages and towns, this ePaper aims to identify and describe the most pervasive economic, physical and psycho-social vulnerabilities that female heads of households (FHHs) in the north face in the post-war context. It also traces how the state has shaped these vulnerabilities through its pursuit of a national security agenda under the guise of “reconstruction.” The response strategies that FHHs have deployed in response to these vulnerabilities range from the creation of innovative livelihood opportunities to acts of “everyday politics” that contest the structures of patriarchy and state-led domination which attempt to marginalize the diversity of FHHs’ stories, hardships and responses. These findings suggest that, rather than being passive victims of socio-political manipulation and oppression, FHHs are highly vulnerable but active agents in their own lives. Though inevitably influenced by unequal power relations and gendered norms, through their response strategies, they also contest the narrow identities constructed for Tamil women and their simplistic portrayal as either “powerless victims” or “empowered warriors”.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to identify and explore about the impact of the land rights utilization for the empowerment of rural women especially with respect to Tamil Nadu. Land rights equity is considered to be the most important tool for encouraging empowerment and financial wellbeing for women in developing regions. Around the world, gender-based discrimination is considered as most common form of disadvantage which affects land rights equity. Most of people are aware about this fact but it was not rectified for further improvements. Land rights of women are most important as it paves a way for sustainable livelihoods and also assures food security. Women are facing lot of difficulties in accessing land rights although it is widely recognized as most important for the development of women.Recognizing and securing land rights of women are vital to improve the women empowerment and their welfare. This study has been conducted through the both primary and secondary data which means it uses literature study as secondary data and both quantitative and qualitative research as primary data in order to deal with land rights utilization for the empowerment of rural women. This research adapts descriptive research design and also incorporated purposive and judgemental sampling for choosing the respondents. For quantitative research, survey was conducted by providing closed ended questionnaires to 415 respondents (Rural women involved in agriculture of the two districts, Thiruvannamalai and Salem of Tamil Nadu). For qualitative study, interview is conducted with 12 respondents (4 BC women, 6 SC women, 1 ST and 1 MBC woman). The results of the study are to be analyzed with techniques. The results of the study reveal that, land rights have ability to enhance the level of food security and nutrition of women, socio-cultural capital, economical capital and political empowerment. The study concludes that, rural women create major and various contributions to the nation including accomplishment of nutrition and food security, sustainable use of land, and decision making process in agricultural sector. Lack of land rights not only reduces women's autonomy and voice, but also affects their self-esteem and their wellbeing. Thus, this study recommends empowering women is most important for increased well-being and effective growth of children and also for long-standing socio-economic development and reduced poverty for future generation.
