PROBLEMS FACED BY THE CHAR RURAL WOMEN IN IMPROVING THEIR SOCIAL STATUS (Pages : 1 - 6)

The purpose of the study was to determine and describe problems faced by the char rural women in improving their social status. This study was also designed to explore the relationships between the selected characteristics of char rural women and the problems faced by the char women. The study was conducted at Horipur and Kanchibari villages from Sundorganj upazila under Gaibandha district and Chilmari and Raniganj villages from Chilmari upazila under Kurigram district. Data were collected from randomly selected 240 women (6% of the total population) from an updated list of 1440 women of the study area. Data were collected through personal contact with a well-structured pretested interview schedule during the period of 01 September to 30 October 2020. The study revealed that most of the respondents (48.8 percent) had faced medium problems, while 45.8 percent had faced high problems and the rest 5.4 percent had faced low problems. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation coefficient (r) was computed to explore the relationships between the selected characteristics of char rural women and the problem faced by them. The correlation analysis indicated that household income had a negative significant relationship with women’s problems faced in the char area. The findings of the study showed that lack of support in purchasing products, less labor wage for females, and lack of support in any sort of adverse situation were the main three problems faced by respondents.Download
