Abstract:

This research aims to identify rural women's financial situation and identify their role in society and development. A questionnaire form was prepared, and data were analyzed statistically using the SPSS statistical program to achieve the research objectives. It was found that 39% of the women in the study area worked in the agricultural sector and preferred to work outside their homes. Ein El Arous region represented the most acceptable area for women to work outside their house. The financial benefit was the main incentive for women to work outside (76% in Ein Al Arous and 60% in the Bshalamah area). It was recommended that women be granted certain privileges when they participate in development plans and be encouraged to claim their inheritance to obtain their property. In contrast, the need to change the rural social view of women working outside should be emphasized.
