1 Introduction -- 2 Before NGOs: Women's Organizations in Colonial India -- 3 Politics of Women's Empowerment and Non-Governmental Organizations -- 4 NGO Activism and Women's Empowerment in India -- 5 Women's Participation in Rural Local Governance of Bangladesh: Progress and Challenges -- 6 Reproductive Health of Women and Human Development in Nepal -- 7 Role of Microfinance in Empowering Woman Entrepreneurs in Rural Sri Lanka -- 8 Lives in Neglect, Deceit and Violence: Voices and Agencies of Trafficked Women -- 9 Multiplying Insecurity: Disempowerment of Women's Agency in the Logistics of Transnational Trafficking Networks of South Asia -- 10 Equalizing Gender Imbalance in a Globalized World.

This book unravels the juggernaut of academic and civil society perspectives and issues relating to women's empowerment. Drawing upon contributions from serving and retired academics with substantial experience of NGO-run women's care and justice activities, it seeks to generate new ideas and insights on the problematic of a knowledge enterprise involving several hugely intractable entitlements and violations South Asian women have experienced in historical and contemporary times. The book aims to generate substantial intellectual resources for yet another stimulating churning of interest and enthusiasm among policy makers, academics, social activists, development functionaries, students and inclined laypersons concerned with women's studies in general and the multifaceted ordeal of women's empowerment in particular.
