This book lays out
an innovative framework for understanding issues of women’s empowerment.
This is the framework conceptualized and used by the Research Programme
Consortium on Women’s Empowerment in Muslim Contexts: Gender, poverty and
democratisation from the inside out (WEMC). In this book the Consortium
shares its concepts, analyses and research findings some two years after
the framework’s inception. It includes grounded narratives of how women
can be and are being empowered in their lived realities, derived from the
Consortium’s research in China, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, and in cross-border situations.
