The following article looks at social controls on the behavior of rural women in Bangladesh that need to be considered in project designs if women are to be able to respond to development programs. Rural women in many countries are constrained by analogous social pressures, which usually have an economic basis favoring the more powerful and therefore are resistant to change. Since these pressures on rural women often have a negative effect on the goals of rural development, they need to be understood and addressed.
