dc.description.abstractThis thesis aims to verify first whether women’s involvement in MSEs improves their household decision-making power from the human rights perspective. Then, it also tries to show the means that women’s involvement in MSEs improves their household decision making power from the perspectives of human rights. In addition, it also tries to show the limitations that retards the positive human rights influence of women’s involvement in MSEs on their household decisionmaking. In addition, it tries to investigate the ways that those constraints affect the positive human rights impacts of women’s involvement in MSEs on their household decision-making power. In addition, it also presents the appropriate solutions that augment the decision making right of women in the household through their involvement in MSEs. The research shows that women’s involvement in MSEs improves their household decision making right. It also asserts the existence of a variety of factors and constraints that retards the positive human rights implications of women’s involvement in MSEs on their household decision making power. For example, it affirms the shortage of income acquired from the sector as one major constraint. It also states the existing cultural outlooks and patriarchical gender relation as other constraints. It also asserts the existing low access to information and training and less gender mainstreaming perspective as factor for the advancement of women’s household decision-making through their involvement in MSEs. The level of the improvement of their rights is also varies from the participants marital status, nature of MSEs, and other socio- economic environment of the household. It also presents the measures that is undertaken or is suggested to be undertaken by the sampled participant that can boost household decision-making rights of women through their involvement in MSEs. For instance, increasing their source of income, deep-rooted training with follow up mechanism by government officials, change in traditional attitude towards women by others and women themselves are the most considerable one. Finally, the research is recommended the need to find out alternative mechanisms for the following targets. To increase the level of income of the participant; to change different traditional and cultural norms found at different level of the society; and to ensure access to training, information, and gender mainstreaming.en_US
