In order to give special honor to the rural women International Rural Woman Day is being observed every year in countries. This day is playing a pivotal role to build unity and solidarity among the rural women. Rural women are the part of marginalized groups in society. They are victimized by different kinds of torture-repression and persecution-deprivation. The work rural women are doing day and night in family is not monetized. As a result, she can not stand with his head in society. Even in the decision-making process in society she can play no part.
