“…Consequently, it is imperative that females are consistently provided with every chance to acquire a comprehensive education. Therefore, by educating a woman, she is equipped with a powerful tool to combat problems and instigate good transformation in both her own life and society (Islam, 2012).

Women in Bangladesh are disproportionately affected by recurrent flooding events, which have a negative impact on them. Women are more susceptible and less adaptable than males in flood disasters due to socio-cultural barriers perpetuated by society. The objective of this research is to explore the challenges impede women’s ability to adapt and increase their capacity in flood-affected areas of Bangladesh. To accomplish this goal, a qualitative research approach was utilized, including Focus Group Discussions with six unique groups, and conducting In-depth interviews with a total of thirty participants. The research illustrates that women’s susceptibility issues are worsened by rural communities and flood disasters due to their lack of adaptability. This is mostly attributed to the patriarchal culture prevalent in rural Bangladesh, which poses challenges in acquiring the necessary knowledge, skills, resources, and capacity for adaption. Hence, this article argues in favour of the government’s unwavering commitment to effectively utilizing the complete potential of women to enhance their ability to adapt and integrate them into the broader fabric of society, thereby promoting positive societal progress by reducing their vulnerability.

The study aims at exploring the degree of dynamic capacities and versatility of mothers at the household level and to recognise its general determinants. The sample includes 280 households where mothers with school-going children are the respondents. Principal component analysis is applied to estimate a mother’s dynamic capacities and versatility level. The ordinary least-square regression model is developed to identify the factors that influence the mother’s dynamic capacities and versatility level. The outcome shows that the dynamic capacities and versatility of mothers shift fundamentally across families and in general, it is tolerably high. The further result shows that the higher the level of education and the higher the age at marriage the higher the mother’s capacity to taking decisions and move autonomously. Different elements that add to this are a place of residence, religion and housing conditions.

This form of monetary activity has enough potential to eliminate gender inequality, minimize of early marriages, reduce spousal violence, and encourage the creation of new realistic knowledge, skills, and confidence [43] that can improve the livelihood status of women [40], [43], [44], [47]. Although women play a key role in livestock farming, they have very little control over those assets due to socioeconomic standing and cultural values [42].…”

Bangladeshi women are traditionally involved in various agricultural activities but most of their efforts remain unnoticed. To emphasize the significance of women's role in agricultural production, this paper highlights the major activities performed by Bangladeshi women in diverse agricultural production based on published literature. It was observed that Bangladeshi women are subjected to face social restrictions, but despite this, they are active participants in field and homestead crops production, poultry and livestock rearing, and fisheries management. They are predominantly involved in post-harvesting activities of field crops production. They retain control over all activities of homestead crops production. Management activities of poultry and livestock rearing, and fish culture are mostly performed by women. Women's involvement in such activities improves socioeconomic conditions by increasing household food security, family nutrition, and employment opportunities, all of which contribute to a more stable lifestyle. Bangladeshi women's contributions to agricultural production are noteworthy which should be recognized, appreciated, and valued.
