abstract: 'Labor markets are still heavily gendered everywhere, even when women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation in the labor market is greater now than at any other time
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in history. Existing research shows poor women''s participation in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
informal economy is higher than men''s in many parts of the Global South.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, this is not the case in Bangladesh. Poor Muslim women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation, particularly where they require access to public space,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is lower than men due to persistent patriarchal norms, reflected in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social and religious expectations of women. Drawing on interview data
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with female street vendors from a slum in Dhaka, this article explores
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the dynamics of social and religious norms that constrain poor Muslim
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women''s access to public space to earn income. This article contributes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the literature on gender, religion, and work by highlighting that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parochial realm offers a safer space for operating businesses without
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
breaking social norms and by arguing that poor Muslim women experience
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social and religious barriers rather than legal ones. Non-legal barriers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are more amenable to change as a result, which is important for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
empowering women.'
