Tribal rural women in Ghatsila village participate in a traditional dance during a local cultural event showcasing community customs and folk art. International Day of Rural Women is observed annually on October 15 and highlights the vital role of rural women in food production, agriculture, and environmental stewardship. Globally, women make up over 35% of the agricultural labor force reaching more than 50% in parts of Africa and Asia and yet often face unequal access to land, credit and technology. The day promotes gender equality, access to resources and sustainable development.
