It studies how women candidates in Bangladesh are elected in reserved seats in the local government bodies and explores the challenges that they face both from within the domestic unit and from the government administration. The book focuses on grassroots-level governance and provides a comparative study between selected rural and urban local government institutions in different socio-economic, educational, and cultural contexts. It documents loopholes in the system of quota seats for women, allocation of electoral constituency, and elected representatives' rights and responsibilities. It also studies the life-changing impact of women at different levels of governance and society and offers important policy implications for furthering their participation and empowerment. A major intervention in the study of Bangladesh and its politics, this key text will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of political science, public administration, gender studies, public policy, and South Asian studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $x Political activity $z Bangladesh. 650 0 $a Women $z Bangladesh $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Women in public life $z Bangladesh. 650 0 $a Women politicians $z Bangladesh. 650 0 $a Local government $z Bangladesh. 651 0 $a Bangladesh $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Local government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01001300 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Women in public life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177955 650 7 $a Women $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734136 650 7 $a Women politicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178383 650 7 $a Women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176947 651 7 $a Bangladesh. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01213724 776 08 $i Online version: $a Aktar, Shajeda. $t Empowering women in Bangladesh $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003049784 $w (DLC) 2021007752 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015225.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F630746A477411EC81CA9FE82DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
