"On the surface, Burundian women are making progress. Even in remote villages, some women break with stereotypes and earn independent incomes. Some even start businesses of their own. Many join economic cooperatives that support their efforts and offer power in numbers" (para 1). "Nor do women have much access to credit. Borrowing from a bank generally requires having a bank account, offering collateral and making a substantial personal investment in a farming enterprise. Most women cannot fulfil these conditions. Some turn to loans from informal sources and pay usurious interest rates" (para 7).

Cultural norms and traditions give men the final say in household matters. Many men profit from their wives’ labour, without giving them a say in how those profits are spent" (para 2). "This is patriarchy in action. Unfortunately it is fairly typical, particularly in village communities. Men tend to take the family decisions" (para 5).
