Tóm tắt

Công việc nặng nhọc kéo dài trong các ngày làm việc dài ảnh hưởng đến sức khỏe của phụ nữ. Trong các xã hội nông thôn và nông nghiệp, phụ nữ thực hiện nhiều nhiệm vụ nội trợ và sản xuất, thường hoạt động từ sáng sớm đến tối muộn, với ít hoặc không có thời gian nghỉ ngơi. Bài báo này trình bày kết quả của một cuộc khảo sát đối với phụ nữ bản địa ở sáu cộng đồng nông thôn tại vùng cao Ecuador. Cuộc khảo sát được tiến hành nhằm đo lường thời gian mà phụ nữ dành cho công việc nặng nhọc trong bối cảnh an ninh lương thực, kết quả về sinh đẻ và khả năng tiếp cận dịch vụ chăm sóc sức khỏe trước sinh. Các phát hiện cho thấy những phụ nữ này làm việc rất nhiều giờ trong ngày và cũng gặp phải tình trạng thiếu an ninh lương thực cùng khả năng tiếp cận dịch vụ chăm sóc sức khỏe trước sinh kém.
