The central question of this study, however, was related to the conditions under which it was measured women's work in the settlement. From a gender perspective aimed to uncover the ways and ideologies that sustain domination of male over female in rural areas. It was found that the seated woman working as much or more than the man, but for the most part, this work is not recognized.
