Women of the Kayan Lahwi Long Neck Tribe often play essential roles both within their families and in society as a whole. While specific tasks can vary, Kayan Lahwi women are frequently involved in agricultural work, such as planting and harvesting crops, as well as household chores like cooking, cleaning, and caring for children. In addition to their roles in agriculture and household management, Kayan women are known for their skilled craftsmanship, particularly in traditional weaving. They create intricate textiles and handicrafts using techniques passed down through generations. These crafts are not only a source of income for many Kayan families but also serve as a way to preserve their cultural heritage.
