In many societies, farming and direct hashtag#production labor are often seen as roles primarily for men, while women are typically associated with supportive tasks, like cooking ( Mama Ntilie) near farming areas. However, we are witnessing more and more smallholder hashtag#women farmers🌱 who are stepping into the fields themselves, engaging in hard labor and production directly.
This often stems from circumstances beyond their control: hashtag#health challenges faced by spouses, hashtag#divorce, hashtag#widowhood, and other life changes that make it necessary for women to take on these roles.
It’s important to understand that these women are not necessarily rebels or trying to prove a point. They are simply adapting to the realities of their situations therefore it’s crucial that as a society, we support them. We must ensure that these women have the resources (eg. digital solutions and close data driven agronomy support, access to climate smart techniques ) and encouragement they need so that their families can continue to thrive despite the challenges.
As we reflect on these realities, we must ask ourselves: How are we contributing to support these women? How can we help lighten their load and enable them to thrive both in agriculture and in nurturing the next generation?
After all, the strength of our communities often lies in the hands of these women. This monday let’s pause and consider how we can be part of the solution.
