Creating Voice and Carving Space

Published by The Royal Tropical Institute (KIT), Creating Voice and Carving Space provides insight into the changing role of civil society organisations in creating a 'voice' for women living in poverty and examines strategies, methods and tools to make that voice heard in governance institutions and generate a response in the form of policy change and implementation.

The book is based on action research undertaken across Southern Africa and South Asia to investigate how women among marginalised groups can stake their claim and participate in governance, and how governance institutions can be made accountable to the interests of women living in poverty.

The themes, case studies and conclusions explored in Creating Voice and Carving Space are written to be of interest to development practitioners, researchers and students of gender and development worldwide.
