Women Participation in Environmental Management in the Urban and Rural Areas of District Lahore
Abstract
Present study was conducted to investigate the role of women in controlling the environmental pollution and compare the awareness level of urban and rural women about water, food and sanitation management. The data was collected through a questionnaire in the Urdu language to make it easier to understand for respondents. Sample included 200 women (100 rural and 100 urban). Analysis of data revealed that Modern resources were more easily available to urban women than women of rural area. However, load shedding was reported as a major challenge by the women of both types of localities as electric pumps could not be used regularly without electricity. It was recommended that proper awareness campaigns should be launched by the government on water, food and waste management in both rural and urban setting.
