L2L Dialogue combines women’s concerns with social change and community mobilization. L2L Dialogue fulfills the promise of women’s empowerment as a change model. Grassroots women’s work to map and analyze gender and power relationships becomes the foundation of their strategies for reconfiguring these relationships. L2L Dialogue actively addresses both strategic and practical concerns by confronting existing power structures at all levels.
L2L Dialogue’s emphasis on local realities brings grassroots women’s concerns to light. Their priorities are grounded in specific and concrete issues that affect their families, neighborhoods, and communities. It comes from practice that is varied, setting new terms of engagement between communities and government on grassroots women’s terms. The dialogue process transforms our structural marginality in formal institutions and address subtle forms of sexual discrimination.
