Many poor people around the world are denied the opportunity to
have their say. Politics generally works well for those in power,
but those in poverty are often excluded from forums that directly
affect their welfare and so are unable to hold decision-makers to
account. Speaking Out describes different ways to strengthen the
participation of people in poverty so that they become active
citizens and shape policy decisions. The book includes different
approaches, lessons learned, and useful case study examples on
issues ranging from local community budget monitoring to popular
mobilization and media work. The chapters show that addressing a
lack of ability to speak out against injustice, as well as the more
tangible issues, can make a big difference to people's ability to
achieve greater well-being and to get out of poverty, and so work
towards a point where poor and marginalized women and men are more
able to access their rights. This book will be of interest to all
concerned with issues of citizen participation and equality
worldwide, particularly trainers and practitioners in community
development work.
