Decision Making power of Women residing in rural areas.

 

Decision Making has very deep roots in our human society, the decision of our parents to bring us to this world might be a good start to decision making. Right from a young age, we have a choice in how we dress how we speak, well mostly! We do start making decisions as human beings only when we reach a certain level of consciousness. We primarily make decisions the way we have been raised and we cannot distinguish them at that age. The human species take a varied set of decisions that shape up their lives. The decision making depends on their sex, financial condition, desires, emotional longings. Here, we discuss the decision-making power of women especially for women living in rural areas.

Women in rural areas.

By socialization, women are responsible for cooking, giving birth, raising young ones and taking care of the households.

 Nevertheless, this cannot be necessarily implied that women do so because they are women; it might be because of several circumstances, including the financial stature of families. Women have been recognized as an aid for men through most of the evolution. This thought process has started to change in the urban areas as of the last decade but the rural areas still are lagging behind a tad too much. Whenever we visit any rural area, for instance, any village or small town, we see women doing the household work and men mostly doing the out of housework. It is almost outrageous for women residing in a rural area to think of doing an office job. Girls are brought up in a way so that they could help the households with little insight into the outside world. For humans, this perspective of life is very limited and subdued, we have seen women in the highest position of office as well as political leaders and almost every aspect of life. 

Decision making of women in rural areas.

Although many or all studies have shown how limited and subdued lives women have been living in rural regions, it has also shown a slight bit of improvement in women who once are introduced to the opportunities they have in life, which is largely due to NGOs or small groups of individuals, that they have excelled in multiple fields. 

The power of decision making is when you have all the possibilities available to you and then you select a lifestyle and might be, you excel in that lifestyle or you want to change it again, is up to you. 

We feel women in rural areas of all the opportunities they have in life, and they are steadily improving their life and the lives around them for the Greater Good.
