If a woman decides to adopt a nomadic lifestyle, what are the challenges she’ll faces?
Nomadic lifestyle in which a person is not attached to a specific area of land and keep on moving from place to place and different regions and maybe countries too. It’s an old form of lifestyle but still practiced but the times have changed, back in those times there was less pressure on each thing be it a career, jobs, etc. but now in each field, there’s competition, comparison, etc.
When a woman wants to do something she faces a lot of challenges, whether to start a career, study abroad, live life on her own terms, travel and explore, etc. A woman now is equal to men in everything and if she wants to live a nomadic lifestyle, she will face many challenges not personally but emotionally, socially, economically, etc. To live nomadically means you will have to keep traveling and not settled in a single place. And that’s a very challenging task for a woman because to adjust to the places and people for that duration and then again to some other place.
Challenges faced by them can be, community building – when you are not with family you miss out on many important events and family gatherings; you don’t have a fixed place or resident to stay because you keep traveling and exploring, you have to keep on traveling and planning and in doing so you miss out health and it is affected and being a women health and hygiene on normal days and also on days on menstruation should be most taken care in daily routines but is neglected because there is lack of facilities of sanitation.
Emotionally, at some point being a woman you tend to think a lot and end up being stressed out because of no one to support or someone by your side when you decide to take up this as a lifestyle. The very challenge is when you decide to live this lifestyle and your near ones don’t support and trust you because you are a woman. Now the time has changed and many women are achieving and doing what they want to.
There are many challenges faced by women daily but each day she passes it with struggle but with also a smile and hard work.
