This book provides insights into what gender inclusive citizenship
means as a practice, what can be achieved when it is promoted and
what role participatory action research can play. It shares the
experiences of women in local communities devising ways to exercise
their citizenship. It is about women working on rights and thereby
furthering their understanding of citizenship, beginning to speak
for themselves and to make claims. It is about women developing
their own agency and acting for themselves. And it is about women
investigating and addressing institutional barriers in order to
ensure their rights have concrete effects in their daily lives.
These experiences arose out of an innovative regional programme
that supported seven womens rights and human rights organisations
in Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. It was initiated because
of the recognition by Oxfam Novib and KIT that despite many
development efforts to mainstream gender, provide gender training
and strengthen womens leadership, women in many parts of the world
are still not fully recognised as citizens with rights. These
experiences demonstrate ways in which women can change that.
