Download or read book Monitoring of Local Public Services by Women led Grassroots Agencies a Case Study on the Processes of Women s Political Empowerment at Grassroots Level in Bangladesh written by Abu Said Mohammad Juel Miah and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation reflects on the potential of informal political spaces related to transparency and accountability of local public services in the endeavours of enhancing womens leadership and political empowerment. Based on a field work, this dissertation highlights the processes of monitoring of local public services conducted by women-led grassroots agencies as well as the underlying processes of enhancing leadership and political empowerment of grassroots women through informal political spaces and processes like women-led citizen monitoring. This dissertation covers two distinct cases of women-led citizen monitoring. Qualitative methods and techniques were applied in the dissertation. Kabeers (1999) notion on the three dimensions of empowerment was followed in the dissertation as theoretical framework. This dissertation does not show any empirical evidence that monitoring of local public services, if conducted by women-led grassroots agencies, empowers the grassroots women politically. However, it can be indicated that the processes and spaces studies here are likely to offer space for building active citizenship or political agency among the grassroots women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women the world over are being prevented from engaging in politics. Women's political leadership of any sort is a rarity and a career in politics rarer still. We have, however, begun to understand what it takes to create an enabling environment for women's political participation. In this exciting and pioneering collection, writers from Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East are brought together for the first time to talk explicitly about women's participation in the political scene across the global South. Answering such questions as how women can get political apprenticeship opportunities, how these opportunities translate into the pursuit of a political career, and how these pursuits then influence the kind of political platform women advocate once in power, Women in Politics is essential reading for anyone interested in what it means to engage politically.
