Gendered Market Map
• Map
It is important to women to look after themselves economically. They cannot depend on men alone. When my husband got
sick, I needed to be very resourceful or our children might have died from hunger. I cannot afford to experience that again. Now my husband salutes me for surviving that trial. Islam does
not promote idleness of women.
The difference between men and women having income is that
men only cares of profiting from their livelihood while women always think carefully of how their profit contribute to the
well-being of the entire household.
Being economically independent allows
freedom of oppression from your own family. After the death of my husband, I took over
managing our farm. Now my siblings cannot belittle
me becoz I managed to send my children to
school without asking for their aid. My dignity and
self-respect is intact.
