Description
Abstract The study has been conducted in Kassala State during the period from May 2007 to February 2008. The main objectives of this study were to identify the factors that affect women access to markets in the study area and to investigate the major obstacles that faced women in markets in the study area. One hundred women who work in the local markets at the study area were selected. Primary data were collected from the sample using questionnaire and secondary data were collected from relevant books, researches, reports and Internet. Primary data were analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results revealed that (64%) of the studied women belonged to western tribes (Hausa, Felata, Berno, Nuba and Hammar), 30% from eastern tribes (Halanga, Hadandawa, Habab and Beni Amier). In addition, food processing, handicraft, trade and sewing were the major activities practiced by 58%, 35%, 4% and 3% of the respondents respectively. On the other hand the, majority of the families (75%) were of low income, in that 84% of them eamed average income ranged from 10-20 SDG, with daily expenditure of approximately the same amount. Results showed that competition, high production cost and low quality of goods, and insufficient capital beside illness, pregnancy, lactation and delivery were the major limitations that constraint women access to market in the area. Finally, findings indicated that Beja women are not represented in Kassala markets in high proportion due to different limitations that constraint their access to markets including tribal traditions, social status, absence of women control on financial resources and wealth, cultural factors and other factors related to Beja women attitudes and culture about marketing and productive work outside the home.
