- Description
- In this article authors uses exchange theory to examine the status and familial interactions of women in rural Bangladesh throughout their lives. Their status remains low but it does vary according to a highly institutionalized pattern of family-based social expectations. Although the institutions defining a woman's status seem to be stable, they are also changing because of the society's exposure to recent worldwide advances in family planning and health care.

Given the limits imposed on productivity by low-skill, labour-intensive strategies, increasing competitiveness must come in large part from technological upgrading and increasing labour productivity.

- Description
- ‘Good governance’ became the mantra in international development debates in the 1990s with state reform and ‘improving’ public administration epitomising key approaches to achieving good governance. But were these approaches sufficient to make governance participatory, accountable and responsive to citizens and respectful of their rights? .In contrast to dominant views of governance as a series of technical interventions to improve state functioning, this book looks at governance as political process. It investigates how women among marginalised groups can stake their claim to participation in governance, and create accountability of governance institutions to their interests and rights. .The book is based on action research undertaken in eight country contexts across two regions, Southern Africa and South Asia, by sixteen civil society organisations. It provides insights into the changing role of civil society organisations representing women’s interests in facilitating ‘voice’ of the most marginalised women, and in developing strategies, methods and tools to bring poor women’s voices to governance institutions in order to ensure responsiveness in policy formulation and implementation.

- Description
- Author argues in this paper that to truly understand the complexity and 'high prevalence' of acid violence against women in Bangladesh, we must pay attention to the confluence of political, economic and historical forces that make certain social groups more vulnerable to such extreme violence and suffering. By tracing the life history narratives of survivors of gender-based violence, author wants to shed light that acid throwing—a form of gendered violence—has to be understood beyond a 'culturalist' framework, which explains this phenomenon as a product of harmful patriarchal cultural practices, seemingly more prevalent in certain South Asian cultures.

- Description
- This report considers how gender issues are entwined with people’s vulnerability to the effects of climate change, and how gender identities and roles may affect women’s and men’s perceptions of the changes. The case studies in this book show how women and men in developing countries are experiencing climate change and describe their efforts to adapt their ways of making a living to ensure survival, often against extraordinary odds. Contributors also examine how gender-equality concerns should be integrated into international negotiations and agreements on climate change mitigation and adaptation to ensure that new policies do not disadvantage poor women, but rather deliver them some benefits.
