dc.description.abstractDeteriorating conditions in agricultural production, and food insecurity has pushed men to migrate from the study villages (Bhurtel Gaon, Lamichhane Gaon and Thapa Goan) of Majthana VDC in Western Nepal. Women are left to carry responsibilities of households, farms and community life. In many cases, they move out of traditional roles, engaging in productive as well as reproductive roles to sustain theirs and their children’s livelihood. Loss of forested land and water resources continue to adversely affect their lives, along with customary law which prohibits their adoption of “masculine” roles. This in-depth study reports on how women cope within extraordinary limitations.en
