Feminist theories such as the Standpoint theory, Intersectionality, Ecofeminism and Social Construction were used to conceptualize the gender roles and practices that continue to hinder equity between men and women. This study was qualitative in design. The population of the study comprised of men and women living in Shashe village. A total number of people interviewed was 24, 6men and 6 women from focus group and 12 participants for individual participants. A purposive sample of participants was drawn from the population of farmers. The researchers targeted farmers, who are affected by erratic rainfall. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. The themes that emananted from the study were; environmental effects, economic effects, food scarcity, health effects, distribution of gender roles and coping strategies to drought. The findings showed that there were paradigm shifts in terms of gender relations with regard to drought in many villages, townships and cities today. Furthermore, cultural patterns embedded in patriarchal relationships are accommodating forms of relationships which are not favourable to women. The study recommends that farmers should also have other sources to generate income other than farming because of the changing weather patterns and also to educate women in all dimensions of agriculture so that they are well informed.1 online resource (xvii, 179 leaves : color illustrations)enUniversity of VendaDroughtUCTDEquityFamilyGender equalityGender rolesNatural disastersVulnerability338.14082096891Droughts -- ZimbabweWeather -- ZimbabweWomen in agriculture -- ZimbabweWomen in development -- ZimbabweWomen farmers -- ZimbabweWomen in economic development -- ZimbabweAgriculture -- ZimbabweThesisTakayindisa FM.
