Summary
In Africa, women perform the majority of agricultural activities. Among the activities carried out by these women we can mention the agricultural exploitation, food transformation, trade in agricultural products [2]. These activities allow them to spend the expenses assigned to them in the household and play their roles as foster mothers. Among the expenses we have the expenses of feeding, education of the children, clothing, religious ceremonies, expenses of health [3] This explains the presence of women in several fields of activity with the aim of diversifying their sources of income and ensuring their roles as housewives. This paper highlights the role of women in rural areas
