Body

On the Ground • The Kuchi are pastoralists who raise sheep and goats on the rangelands. • Kuchi women are equal partners in the success of pastoral production, despite facing unique risks. • Kuchi women are unskilled, illiterate, and underserved, and remain constrained by cultural beliefs. They are eager, however, to improve the welfare of themselves and their community when given appropriate opportunities. • Women with training demonstrate they are more than capable of finding effective and sustainable solutions for female-related problems. • Building the capacity of motivated women and supporting their efforts outside the home to resolve conflicts themselves are keys to success. The Rangelands archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries. Contact lbry-journals@email.arizona.edu for further information.
