Abstract

This paper describes the difficult situation faced by women living in arid areas of China, based on research carried out by the author. She describes the causes and effects of poverty in the targeted areas, and postulates what roles women could play to alleviate poverty and improve the environment in arid areas. In addressing policies which could lead to sustainable development, she discusses improved education in a number of areas; public policies aimed at improving women's conditions; ways to involve women in environmental protection; encouraging migration to reduce environmental degradation; and improving child‐bearing conditions.
