Employment that requires being away from home for extended hours constrains women's ability to manage their household, care for their children, and participate in development programmes. Frequent- ly, women work up to 12 hours a day and commute for 2-3 hours to their place of work. Thus, it makes it almost impossible for these women to participate in development pro- grammes operating in the communi- ties where they live, because they are physically absent from home for extended hours, often up to 6 days a week.
