The Impact of Male Dominance on Women's Role in the Division of Labour During and Post-Conflict in Tamil Society

This study examines the far-reaching impact of male dominance on the formulation of women's roles in the division of labour during and post-conflict periods within Tamil society. Despite the significance of gender equality in achieving a harmonious social environment, traditional gender roles and kinship systems often perpetuate gender disparities. The Tamil society, affected by conflict, offers a unique context to investigate how male dominance influences women's roles in the division of labour. This research aims to explore how the intersection of gender, conflict, and societal structures affects women's agency and participation in the labour market. By analyzing the experiences of Tamil women during and after conflict, this study seeks to identify the ways in which male dominance shapes their roles in the division of labour, perpetuating gender inequalities. The findings of this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between gender, conflict, and labour, informing strategies to promote gender equality and empowerment in post-conflict societies.
