Abstract

Women have a vital role in the Vietnamese work sector, particularly in rural areas. They have been heavily involved in agricultural production and have contributed significantly to rural economic growth. Furthermore, agricultural production has primarily been carried out by women at the community level. Their contribution, however, has not been officially acknowledged. As a result, increasing women's participation in agriculture management at the community level is a critical component of the gender equality agenda. In this article, the researcher will use the qualitative to assess the role of women's participation in the operation of the women in agriculture at the community level. In-depth interviews will be conducted with a select group of 5 people as women married aged between 23 and 60 years old and working in agriculture, they were, at the time, abused by their husbands and had experience with gender equality in agriculture. The evaluation of the role of women is required in order to understand the inadequacies of gender equality in agriculture at the community level, and the result will find that the women in Lam Dong province remain limited, even yet, they have no power or say in the agricultural management's implementation and decision-making.
