The involvement of ladies in development projects Background of the Study The involvement of ladies in development projects has been a significant concern in all nations, due to ignored gender relations in both the practice and hypothesis of development (Brohman, 2016). In this case, women have methodically been shut out of the different stages of development – this had led to the perception that they are impediments to growth (Parpart, 2013). A study conducted by (Stephen 2013) on Women’s rural mobilizations in Latin American showed that women were politically neglected and almost excluded in active participation in development activities. Previous studies, however, have revealed the potential of women in developing appropriate ways that enable them to handle their challenges and concerns via local participation in expansion projects, especially agriculture and small scale businesses (UN, 2011). According to Chalchissa & Emnet (2013), the economic participation of women is also narrow and primarily limited to domestic work and low paying menial jobs in the formal economic sphere.

Philosophy and Gender Gender, sex, and sexuality are described as a special arrangement by which society transforms biological sexuality into human activities. Clerk suggests that the relationship between social gender, biological sex, and sexual attraction are mere cultural products. In this case, gender is described as the social product that can be attached to the philosophies of biological sex. In a diverse modern culture, there is an assumption that everyone is heterosexual.

This is purely based on their opinion on the superficial bodily outlook that is normally presumed to bear the representation of the biological sex characteristics. Clerk raised questions on biological determinist arguments that claimed that every individual recognized as female at their births would have to be recognized as women and hence draws the attraction of men. In relation to the biological determinist…
