Abstract

Women have a great contribution and potential in supporting agricultural and rural development through their active role in the production and household economic activities. This study aims to understand the level of empowerment of women farmers in the lowland rice community in Kecamatan Lhong, Kabupaten Aceh Besar. This study uses a WEAI approach that focuses on five domains of empowerment. A total of 30 respondents have been surveyed using questionnaires and direct interviews. The results show that the capacity to build and empower women in farming production activities is moderate with the lowest sub-domain being the allocation of productive time.
