From
Voices to
Action
How do
women,
communities
and
practitioners
turn lived
experience
into lasting
change?
This
collection
explores the
people and
movements
driving
transformation
in urban
resilience,
agriculture,
gender
justice,
disability
inclusion and
social change.
Spanning
contexts from
Nicaragua,
Nepal, Canada,
China, India
and Indonesia,
these books
highlight the
experiences,
knowledge and
leadership of
groups whose
contributions
are too often
overlooked;
from women
farmers and
mothers'
groups to
disability
activists and
community
organisers.
Through
research,
reflection and
real-world
practice,
these titles
offer valuable
insights into
how
communities
build
resilience,
challenge
inequality and
create more
inclusive
futures.

'A
rich
understanding
of the
families that
struggle,
strive and
flourish in
Bharatpur,
Nepal. While
ostensibly the
author has a
focus on
urbanization,
she
interweaves
this with
narratives of
everyday lives
and the
limited agency
that women
secure and
use.'

'Young
and Female
pays tribute
to the vital,
often
