Accidental women human rights activists, unintentional advocacy by NGOs and a displeased government
Overview
This is a short piece by activist Rita Manchanda on how consciousness raising and capacity building for Federation leadership led to gains that the government did not anticipate. Although the NGOs were to be collaborative partners, they unintentionally took on a confrontational course as conscious raising and capacity building also meant that the women were asserting their rights and demanding justice. The author discusses mobilisation of self-help group workers in two states of India.
