| Description: | The article aims to analyze how and to what extent women are strengthened by participating in self -help groups and the resultant establishment of networks and trust. Findings of the article revealed that as long as women are involved in self help groups, a good level of trust and networking is developed among them. Moreover, self-help groups work as a platform for women to discuss and debate various socio-cultural issues. The article is based on both primary and secondary data and concludes with some interesting findings that suggest that women, who have become empowered, benefit from their bridging social networks that began from these self-help networks and subsequently. |
