Women in Kiribati

[1] In general - and despite the changing trends in Kiribati society - women are often treated as "subordinate to men".

But is a growing number of female Kiribati people who participate in skilled work, professional jobs, and governmental roles.

To safeguard the reputation of Kiribati women, traditional restrictions apply, particularly values that are related to chastity.

The responsibility of the women of Kiribati in household includes cooking meals, cleaning, infant care and welfare of the family.

For the community, women are responsible for producing "cash and traditional goods", and also includes fund-raising activities for the church.
