In Bangladesh, women often face limited access to resources and decision-making processes. This study investigates the socioeconomic context, profitability, and factors affecting decision-making power of tribal women by backyard poultry rearing in Khagrachari district. A total of 30 tribal women are selected for this study using random sampling technique. Descriptive statistics, econometric and logistic regression model were used for analysis of the data. Key findings of the study reveal that most backyard poultry rearing tribal women are middle-aged (53.33%) with 6 to 10 years of schooling. The study reveals a total cost of Tk.117.86 ± 25.43, a net return of Tk. 326.14 ± 43.96, and a gross margin of Tk.329.07 ± 43.93 per bird. The benefit-cost ratio (BCR) is 3.89 indicating that investing Tk.1 for backyard poultry farming, tribal women would get a return of Tk.3.89. There is a significant (P < 0.05) positive association is found between the income generated from rearing backyard poultry and women’s probabilities of making household decisions. Majority of tribal women (93.33%) either have a high or medium extent opinion that their husband supports them in household decisions, 66.67% believe they can make decisions to a medium extent about children's education and marriage. Tribal women's participation in poultry farming uplifts their economic situation and bolsters their role in family decisions.
