TRADITIONAL SOCIETIES AND THE ROLE OF WOMEN: WINDS OF CHANGE

Summary/Abstract: Traditional societies have long been characterized by deeply ingrained gender roles and expectations, with women typically occupying subordinate positions and having limited agency and opportunities for self-determination. However, in recent times, a wind of change has been sweeping across these societies, challenging and transforming the role of women. This transformative process is driven by various factors, including increased access to education and information, changing societal attitudes, and the recognition of the potential contributions and rights of women. The wind of change is also fueled by women's movements and advocacy for gender equality and women's rights. In many traditional societies, the role of women is gradually expanding beyond the confines of the household. Women are entering the workforce, participating in politics, pursuing leadership positions, and contributing to economic development. This shift is not only benefiting women individually but also positively impacting the overall social fabric and economic growth of these societies.Efforts are being made to dismantle barriers that hinder women's full participation and to promote gender-responsive policies and laws. While progress is being made, challenges persist. Deeply entrenched patriarchal structures and cultural norms continue to hinder the full realization of women's potential.
