Abstract

This study explores the power dynamics of rural housewives who also work as farm laborers.
The main focus of the study is to understand their autonomy and decision-making position within
the household context. Using a qualitative approach, this research involved in-depth interviews
and participant observation of a number of housewives in rural areas. The key findings reveal
that these housewives generally lack significant personal autonomy within their households. This
is largely due to their limited understanding of gender equality concepts and their right to
participate in household decision-making. As a result, they tend to choose passivity and
submission to their husbands' authority. This study highlights the importance of education on
gender equality and women's empowerment in rural areas. The implications of these findings
indicate a need for programs that can increase awareness and understanding among housewives
about their rights, as well as encourage more active participation in household decision-making.
Keywords: power dynamics, rural housewives, farm laborers, autonomy, decision-making,
gender equality
