What is generally ignored is that gendering of tasks is based on many other social cultural factors and socialization, rather than natural or biological differences between women and men (Krishna 2002).4 In costal areas the major task of women are assigned to rearing and caring of children, management of family, collection of drinking water and fetching of firewood.
