Division of Planning and Statistics and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a report of a study commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture, Division of Planning and Statistics (DAPS) in the wake of the Fourth UN Conference on Women, held in Beijing in 1995. The objective of the study was to consider the extent to which women are disadvantaged in the agricultural economy and the appropriate role for government in reducing any disparities. One of the statistical evidence the study presents suggests that, while on average women farm less land than men, they compensate for their relative lack of access to land by higher productivity. Secondly, although older women own less livestock than men, younger women farmers own as many cattle as male farmers of the same age. The report presents a profile of the role of women in agriculture faced by women. Discusses the role for government in alleviating gender imbalances in agriculture. Also presents the recommendations of the study and proposed plan of action.

Download or read book Navigating Womanhood in Contemporary Botswana written by Stephanie S. Starling and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Seismic social change is underfoot in Botswana, and gender relations are in flux. This book explores what it means to be a woman today in Botswana. The government's enactment of extensive legal reforms, national programmes, and international instruments has gone a long way towards ensuring gender equality on an official basis. However, conventionally defined gender roles continue to present major obstacles for women. Exploring the social construction of womanhood in Tswana culture, this book questions how gendered expectations are shifting in the context of a rapidly changing environment. The concept of womanhood as a mark of status and responsibility is interrogated, and the social consequences of failing to meet the criteria for womanhood are explored. Stephanie S. Starling considers the multiple and often contradictory burdens women face, the strategies they employ, and the sacrifices they make to meet their obligations. Caught between traditional expectations and modern desires, women share stories of agency, creativity and struggle in defining their own paths. A reflexive account of the fieldwork is offered, confronting the ethical challenges of cross-cultural research from a feminist standpoint. This book is essential reading for scholars and students of gender and culture in Southern Africa and will appeal to anyone interested in qualitative interviewing and feminist methodology"--
