NTFP and Gender -roles, practices and knowledge amongst some indigenous communities in India
Description
The study examines the intricate relationship between non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and gender roles in various indigenous communities in India. It highlights that while NTFPs are vital for food security and cultural practices, women's contributions to harvesting and processing are often undervalued due to patriarchal norms. The research indicates that gender dynamics significantly influence access, control, and decision-making in NTFP management. Empowerment initiatives, such as women's self-help groups, are essential for enhancing women's roles in these processes, ultimately impacting household income and food security. The findings emphasize the need for policies that recognize and address gender inequalities in resource management.
