Village Ties: Women, Ngos, and Informal Institutions in Rural Bangladesh Qayum Nayma
Across the global South, poor women's lives are embedded in their social relationships and governed not just by formal institutions - rules that exist on paper - but by informal norms and practices. The book argues that grassroots women's mobilization programs can empower women to challenge informal institutions when such programs are anti-oppression, deliberative, and embedded in their communities. Village Ties takes the reader to Bangladesh, a country that has risen from the ashes of war, natural disaster, and decades of resource drain to become a development miracle.
These women create a complex Qayum dives into the work of Polli Shomaj (PS), a program of the development organization BRAC to show how the women of PS negotiate with state and society to alter the rules of the game, changing how poor people access resources including safety nets, the law, and governing spaces.
