- Roles of women in society vary widely depending on the region.
- In the north, women tend to be marginalized in the same way as in much of the religiously conservative areas of the Arab/Muslim world.
- In the south, women generally have a higher status, but they are still very much second-class in many ways.
- Throughout , the majority of women work in the home. There is often a separation, with men and women eating and interacting separately.
- Among foreign women, there is more latitude, and they are often treated as ‘honorary men’ and given privileges Chadian women do not have.
- Women working in the north (and even occasionally in the south) may want to cover their heads as a sign of respect, along with long sleeves and skirts.
