Minority Women in Bangladesh: Socio-cultural Barriers to Poverty Alleviation

Abstract | Word Stems | Keywords | Association | Citation | Get this Document | Similar Titles



Abstract:

This paper uses an intersectional approach to investigate the socio- cultural barriers faced by Hindu and untouchable women as they try to overcome poverty in Bangladesh. Problems of minority women in Muslim societies have been little studied. As the minority within a minority, these women are invisible. An ethnographic study of Hindu, untouchable, and Muslim women (Grameen Bank loanees) illustrates that different groups of minority women face discrimination as they seek work opportunities and thus have different needs (inheritance rights, contractual marriage, protection against domestic violence). This paper will also analyze the multisectoral policy recommendations for the government, NGOs, and women’s movement.
