- Description
- In a game theoretic framework it can be argued that a gender sensitive institution is an offshoot of certain social conditions, which in most cases need to be acted upon by some anti-establishment catalytic agent. In a society characterized by gender exploitation, catalytic agent can only come exogenously. For a sub-society it is easier to come across such an exogenous catalytic agent. The specific community conditions prevailing in such a sub-society may also prove to be congenial for a catalytic agent to act upon, or even to emerge from. In a larger canvas, however, as the exogenous force transforms into mere endogenous entity, and the society takes on the general character of male-dominance, the space for exogenous agency shrinks. There are, however, three possible escape routes from this closure. Firstly, external effects of women's empowerment in one subsociety on another may snowball. Secondly, the awareness campaign presently underway on a global scale is itself a potent exogenous catalytic agent. Thirdly, general development programs undertaken within a patriarchal order may unwittingly create conditions conducive to feminist struggle.

- Description
- This paper highlights the importance of the role of women in the economic and public sphere, and also explores the various means and steps that have been taken and further measures that can be taken to empower women and encourage entrepreneurship in developing economies such as India. This paper would thus like to bring to the fore that empowerment of women is as important to an economy as it is for their individual well-being and ultimately their liberation.

- Description
- The present study is an attempt to measure to what extent women in urban Bangalore feel empowered in critical areas such as educational achievement, economic opportunity, health and well-being, decision-making, and autonomy in all matters. Data analysis revealed that decision-making power in households and freedom of movement of women vary considerably with age, education, and employment. Very few women had the final say on how their earnings were spent. Control over cash earnings increased with age and education. The study also indicates that educational qualifications and access to employment are the essential factors that promote womenÔÇÖs empowerment, but the degree of achievement of the goal depends mostly on the attitude of the general population towards gender equality.

- Description
- This paper conceptualizes 'empowerment' as the capacity of women to reduce their socioeconomic vulnerability and their dependency on their husbands or other male counterparts, in terms of their ability to become involved in income generating activities and freely spend the income thus generated: to accumulate assets over which they can have right of sale and profit: increase their contribution to household expenditure and thereby acquire a greater role in household decision-making and finally, increase their self confidence and awareness of social issues. this paper might represent a concrete idea of the processes to what extent the NGOs are working in Bangladesh for empowering the poor women.

- Description
- Gender functions as a construct of evolving aspects of women's identities and is a medium through which expectations are prescribed, social norms are formed and power relations are negiotiated. Gender constructs that hinder women's access to the public spheres of society lessen the possibility for equitable and empowering life conditions. Facilitating women's entry into political bodies across the world is also compromised by persistent obstacles in women's opportunities in both political and private spheres of life. This paper engages female and male panchayat members in rural Gujarat, India. The main goal is to understand how being a woman affects access to political office, experiences therein, negotiation procedures and decision taken. Facilitating female representation in local governmental structures (a panchayat) through a quota represents one of many routes toward empowerment and one potential means of improving health and household welfare. When empowerment is examined within India's panchayat quota, dimensions such as gender and corresponding perceptions, norms and conditions evidence the middle of gender as a persistent fault-line in number-based initiatives. The panchayat mirrors gendered social realities, demonstrating how complex the processes of substantial democratic political participation and women's empowerment are, in India and elsewhere.

- Description
- Author examines women's participation in popular organization during the 1990s. She also examines how women's participation and engagement in these organizations is related to the process of gender identities formation. Author investigates whether or not poor women experience, as they become involved in local organizations, a process of empowerment that nurture their self-esteem influencing the pattern of feminist gender identity. Author summarizes social and political events that had an impact on the mobilization of poor women in Peru. Women who are active in popular organizations gain gender consciousness which through activism, leads them to developing feminist gender identities and become feminist or adopt feminist identities.
