Dr R Soundarya Iyer shared learnings from her study in 3 villages focusing on labor, land and credit options and opportunities. Industrial jobs are first taken up by men leaving women in the fields to be underpaid. Concurrently, women prefer working in non-agricultural sectors.

[Landstack @Center4Land]

Dr Kalpana Satish moderated the panel on women land rights emphasising the role of caste and patriarchy. She also focused on the need to define what land and land rights mean. While only 13% of agricultural lands are owned by women 70% is their workforce participation.

Happy to have my words out in @Peasant_Journal. Reviewed the ethnography by the brilliant @sahanagee . The book is a must read for anyone interested in borders, gender, agrarian rural lives and research methods too!
