in both
home and community will be known.

20. CONCLUSION
lReport contributed us in achieving greater understandingof roles
of women and men play in different stages of agriculture
aswell as other production and income generating activities.
lWe found unevendistribution of gender roles within the area
(Meudihawa)whichoccurred because women were confined to
the household activities and the ones who were engaged in the
external works were merely a source of labor also productive as
well as the decision making roles were performed by males who
acted as head of the family
lSo, statusof women was found to be poor compared to men.

22. Suggestions
lBoth the gender should be made aware about their independent
roles in society.
lPeople should emphasizein women empowerment.
lParticipation of women innot merely household works but also
ineconomic development and community roles.
lEncourage the policy makers and working organizations to focus
on real needs of women in rural Nepal.
lAs agricultural roles are taken into consideration women’s can be
provided with trainingin agricultural issues.
