Women worked in rubber plantations and agriculture and had to stop working altogether, or worked in plantation companies as daily laborers. Land conversion did not only change the pattern of livelihoods, but also changed the way of life of women. Some women even encouraged their husbands and sons to mine gold in the river to provide for the family. This research was conducted in two villages; Teluk Kuali and Melako Intan were opposite and separated by the Batanghari River.

In collecting data, this research used interview techniques and direct observation. Ecofeminism is used to analyze this research. ]]>
