Women, NGOs, and Informal Institutions in Rural Bangladesh
Price:
CA$40.95
ISBN: 9781978816442
Pub Date: November 2021
Imprint: Rutgers University Press
Village Ties argues that grassroots women's mobilization programs can empower poor women to challenge oppressive informal institutions - the rules of the game - that govern relationships between actors in the rural global South. By exploring the activities of women who belong to Polli Shomaj, an initiative of the development organization BRAC, Village Ties challenges stereotypes of poor Muslim women as backward, subservient, oppressed, and in need of saving.
