We also realised that Semai women today seem...

Description

"We also realised that Semai women today seem to be under the men's power and control. The men themselves have assumed that they possess this authority over the women. They see their responsibility to the family in merely making sure that they get enough money for their wives and children. For this reason, some men feel that there is no need for women to attend meetings, since the men of the household will be there."
