“…In contrast, women's positions and roles are considered subservient within households. As in most other societies, men and women have different roles and responsibilities in agricultural production [10]. Consistent with FAO [11] and Lebel et al [12], this study also finds that in agriculture, the traditional division of labor between men and women normally depends on the physical nature of work and if it is skilled or unskilled work.…”

“…Field observation uncovers that domestic work is socially assigned to women's jobs in both Kinh and Khmer communities and Kinh and Khmer women are overwhelmed with domestic work besides farming, so they hardly have time to attend meetings. Women's limited participation in public spheres leads to limited opportunities for women's voices heard in higher levels of decisionmaking outside their household [2,10,14]. However, an interesting finding is the difference between Kinh and Khmer women participating in the meetings.…”

“…They may not always feel safe or comfortable speaking openly and sharing their perspectives for several reasons. They may lack selfconfidence with technical language, or under the outnumber of more knowledgeable men, women feel unconfident to express their opinion, or they are reluctant to speak because they do not think they have a role in water governance [10,16]. On the other hand, more Khmer female participants are in the meetings, but they face language barriers.…”

Women form a crucial part of Vietnam’s agricultural labor force and contribute to national economic development. Still, often the nature of their contribution is inadequately recognized by broad sectors of society. Due to entrenched gender roles and norms, women’s influence over agricultural activity decision-making at the household and institutional levels is limited and poorly acknowledged. This paper explores women’s participation at a household and local level in agricultural water resources management. This research draws upon field studies conducted in Tinh Bien district, An Giang province, Vietnam, a predominantly wetlands environment but with some prominent low hills that present different challenges for water management. The study employed focus group discussion, in-depth interviews, and participant observations to gather data at households and higher levels of governance. The findings highlight that despite being central to socio-economic production across multiple aspects of water wetlands management, women’s voices are overlooked for inclusion within management institutions. It was noted that Khmer minority women tend to be better represented at the household level than Kinh women, but both Khmer and Kinh women’s decision-making power over wetlands and water management at higher institutional levels is still limited.

Women empowerment in agriculture influences adaptation capacity to climate change impacts. Women are disempowered in rural households. This affects household's adaptive capacity to climate change negatively. Household survey, focus group discussion, key informant interview and workshop were used to track stakeholders' opinions on gender disparity in agriculture and policy issues. The objective of the study was to assess the gender parity index in agriculture, resource governance patterns and how these impact the capacity to climate change adaptation. The results show wives were imparity with their husbands. The parity gap on ownership, access to, and decision-making power over agricultural equipment was as wide as 59% and this affects women's adaptation capacity to climate change impacts. Indeed, 94% of the coupled households have got their land by redistribution and inheritance land acquisition forms by which both forms of acquiring land favored the husband. Half of the respondent households acknowledged that they have already acquired certification for their farmlands. However, the certification was mostly given by the names of husbands and in few cases by both. Certification of farmlands by the name of a wife and a husband has built confidence on ownership and manage their farmlands. This has helped a household to better adapt climate change impacts. Gender disparity in agricultural productive resources combined with policy and cultural distortions could exacerbate household's vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. This indicates the need for gender mainstreaming in climate change policy reforms and formulation so as to empower women and build their adaptive capacity.
