Again, rural women are more likely than men to depend on daily wages accruing from manual employment. There is obviously a very close link between lack of land ownership and poverty. Besides land property, there are other macro-issues such as access to information, accountability, efficient delivery of services, and improvement in the legal framework, all of which have direct bearings on poverty. At NOSD we feel that women's initiatives and their participation is a key element in the process of developing women at the national and local levels. The work is difficult but there are no options.

There are examples of success also, which prove that if opportunities are provided, women can show their strength. We are looking for practical examples, please share these with us.
