| Women empowering themselves: A framework that interrogates and transforms |
|
| |
 |
|
| This book lays out an innovative framework for understanding issues of women’s empowerment. This is the framework conceptualized and used by the Research Programme Consortium on Women’s Empowerment in Muslim Contexts: Gender, poverty and democratisation from the inside out (WEMC). In this book the Consortium shares its concepts, analyses and research findings some two years after the framework’s inception. It includes grounded narratives of how women can be and are being empowered in their lived realities, derived from the Consortium’s research in China, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, and in cross-border situations. |
