How do NGOs overcome the suspicion of them as "Western" agents? How
do they convince people that contrary to common perceptions, they
do not "lead women astray from Islam"? And how, in the context of
poverty, religious fundamentalism, and ethnic conflict, do NGOs
convince people that women s issues merit any attention at all?
This book uncovers the skillful maneuvering that women s NGOs have
to perform in order to survive in a hostile environment. Drawing on
interviews, participant observation, and published materials by and
about NGOs, this book analyzes the strategies used by Pakistani
women s NGOs to advance women s rights in a conservative - and
often antagonistic - environment.
