Women in Bangladesh primarily involved in household activities take
care of children, food cooking, washing of clothes etc. In addition
to these, they also engaged in other activities like agriculture,
poultry and fisheries. In Bangladesh, the capability of women in
adopting and implementing aquaculture development technologies is
well substantiated, although their full potential has yet to be
explored. To ensure sustainability of aquaculture, it is imperative
to understand women's role in aquaculture. Women involvement in
aquaculture is important in the sense of their physical
contribution as well as their empowerment on the background of
their familial and social life. This study was conducted for
observing women contributions to aquaculture and the impacts of
homestead aquaculture on their livelihood in the south west coastal
part of Bangladesh. In the study area, 95.5 % families are headed
by men and 4.5 % by women. Over 90 % of the respondent women
revealed that their yearly income increased to the previous years
due to the involvement of women in aquaculture.About 71 % of the
total number of interviewed women get benefit from aquaculture.
