Abstract

: Small-holder farmers are the pillars of the rural economy, food security and sustainable livelihoods. As a result of the numerous institutionalized gender inequities that are ingrained in laws, regulations, socio-cultural beliefs, and practices, small-holder agriculture in Zimbabwe continues to be contested and gendered. Exploring lessons from the experiences of women small-holder farmers in fourteen villages in Sanyati District, Zimbabwe, this study examines how the “contours” of gender -political dynamics and relations continue to limit rural women in the mainstream small-holder agricultural sector in Zimbabwe. The study used a mixed-methods research paradigm with which data was collected through purposive sampling techniques, in-depth personal and key informant interviews. The study shows that women farmers in rural communities of Zimbabwe are struggling to control their activities from farmland ownership up to post-harvesting time. Hence, they continue to face discrimination regarding having farmland rights, accessing the markets, financial services, extension services and information. These challenges continue to reveal the existence of an unjust, undemocratic

走在男人走的地方:津巴布韦小农农业的性别政治
:小农是农村经济、粮食安全和可持续生计的支柱。由于法律、法规、社会文化信仰和实践中根深蒂固的许多制度化的性别不平等,津巴布韦的小农农业继续受到质疑和性别歧视。本研究从津巴布韦桑亚提区14个村庄的女性小农的经验中探索教训,研究性别-政治动态和关系的“轮廓”如何继续限制农村妇女在津巴布韦主流小农农业部门的发展。该研究采用混合方法研究范式,通过有目的的抽样技术、深入的个人和关键信息提供者访谈收集数据。该研究表明,津巴布韦农村社区的女性农民正在努力控制自己的活动,从农地所有权到收获后的时间。因此,他们在拥有农地权利、进入市场、金融服务、推广服务和信息方面继续面临歧视。这些挑战继续揭示了一个不公正、不民主的国家的存在
