Title<\/strong>: Rainwater Harvesting in Fighting Climatic Concerns and Women Empowerment in Bangladesh (RHFCCWEB)
PhD Programme<\/strong>: Economics and Management<\/p>\n\n\n

Marginalized people in coastal area of Bangladesh encounter major livelihood challenges due to multiple climatic concerns. Some of these challenges can be described as scarcity of drinking water, domestic cleaning and bathing, and irrigation water supply which are caused by salinity intrusion, drought, water pollution, and flooding. Women in coastal area of Bangladesh are responsible for domestic and agricultural water supply. They encounter further marginalization due to patriarchal domination, social inequality, and exploitation. In this context, this research proposal will explore a major question: how microcredit program can institutionalize rainwater harvesting for women empowerment to cope with climate change effects in coastal area of Bangladesh? This question will be explored with the combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. This proposal will follow the argument that rainwater harvesting with microcredit program can reduce patriarchal domination over marginalized women. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
