- 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.
