Exploring Changes in the Lives of BRAC Women: A Gender Perspective

Published By: BRAC on eSS | Published Date: September, 23 , 2001

In Bangladesh, patriarchal norms, ideology and social institutions shape women's role and status in the society. Within this patriarchal system, some forces like NGOs may affect the relationship between men and women with respect to prestige, power and control, by enhancing or lowering the status of women in different spheres and locations. Existing studies indicate that BRAC's interventions have rendered substantial changes in women's lives in terms of facilitating their material, perceptual and relational pathways to empowerment, both at the individual and at the family level.
