Participatory Action Research

In a nutshell:
•Women knew their rights but could not exercise them:• Lack of economic autonomy• Institutions for redress were non-existent, too far, discriminatory or not
helpful
•Health care workers were a major source of discrimination and active in denying reproductive health services to the women.
•Presenting our “evidence-based” intervention at stakeholder meetings
