Women & Gender: Society and Community

ABOUT THE BOOK:- The driving force behind gender as a distinct system of difference and inequality is gender's deep-seated role as an organizing force in social relations. Mainstreaming gender from grass roots levels leads to development of sustainable communities and emancipation of women. In women's empowerment, the policies must involve the individual perspectives of every woman before addressing gender disparities at national or international levels. This is an indispensable requisite and women's empowerment has to be from local level, individual and family, community to national and global leve ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- Siddhartha Sarkar (b.1973), PhD (Economics), PDF (The Netherlands and Hungary), CAF (London, UK) is serving as the Principal and Executive Head at A.C.
