Womens Empowerment in South Asia

Economic development in the poorest countries often makes better progress when women become involved in, and take a lead in, development projects. Encouraging womens involvement, however, is often a major difficulty in societies where traditionally womens status has been inferior and where women are expected to be domestic and passive. This book, based on extensive original research, considers major projects undertaken by non-governmental organizations in Bangladesh to encourage womens participation. The book identifies the factors which motivated women to be active, discusses how women achieved the level of capacity and knowledge to enable them to serve their communities appropriately, assesses the major difficulties and recommends how empowerment projects can be improved in future. The book concludes that established institutions and traditional customs are often the greatest barrier to womens participation.

Pranab Panday is Professor of Public Administration at the University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh.
