Description
Going beyond the usual studies on poverty and gender, this research study records the powerful resilience of women in resisting impoverishment, in all its forms. Women’s resistance is long-term and traverses sectors and venues, but without the necessary support and organisation, it can be sporadic and unsystematic.
The law offers hope to women. The law needs to be encouraged to serve as a support, since it is relatively neutral and universal. For gender equality, the law needs to be constantly monitored and checked. Positive law needs to be aligned with the framework and norms of human rights –-particularly so for issues of violations of women’s rights. These cannot remain hidden away in domestic space or concealed by layers of culture.
