With due respect, here are my thinking about Rural Women in sustainable Goals

Women, Water and Family Farming

Beside significant role of women in Sanitation section, women are also participating in family farming sector. Year 2013 was declared as year of Family farming. I think family based vegetable gardening; indoor fish farming at Rooftop, Indoor, and Veranda in urban and rural area. Domestic wastage could be used there. This model will help influence kids to do in future large scale environment friendly activities.

In this context, I want to talk about keeping Tilapia fish at aquarium which can play positive role in economy of Bangladesh rather than amateur fishes in aquarium. Please see the attachments about this. We can campaign for to make a habit to producing fishes on rooftop tank, indoor tank/aquarium beside as usual fish production. If we able to do

that I think within short time, it will be product of international trade from indoor aquarium.

Large scale activities of Rural Women

Rural women can contribute significantly to the domestic Biogas, solar panel, earth worm fertilizer, vegetable gardening, and etc activities. To support them more needed online based home economics teaching besides manual teaching. Financial institute can finance them by interest free loan or by CSR.
