A study was undertaken to assess the role of village women in poultry raising in the existing farming system of Bangladesh. Most works related to poultry raising like house construction, feeding, medication, housing and releasing, house cleaning, hatching management, brooding management, decision of purchasing and selling out birds and eggs and decision of home consumption were done by women. Women of landless, marginal and small farm categories were actively involved in poultry raising as part of their income earning activities. On average women completed 80% works of poultry husbandry. It is concluded that disease prevention along with technological support are essential to increase poultry production, family nutrition and cash flow for village women.
