All three organizations used concepts of discrimination, inequality, deprivation, exploitation and oppression to justify the need for change. ForWfW, “women’s empowerment” was close to women’s development and gender equality. BMP linked it to equality and emancipation, situated within a larger political vision of commitment to the secular values of the independence struggle. Naripokkho tends to use “empowerment” to refer to specific contexts and issues, rather than in relation to broader processes of transformation. For all three, “empowerment” was seen as a complex, long-term process, on which progress may be uneven or even contradictory. . . . All three organizations have taken on a rights-based approach, and rights language is prevalent in their work and publications, including explicit references to international human rights frameworks and UN conventions and declarations such as CEDAW.
