women's collective action 

A participatory training methodology is used, which is essentially experiential.The emphasis is on group building, encouraging involvement and initiating dialogue.Methodological tools for unconventional, learner-centred training are used.Ice breakers, case studies, role plays, panel discussions, group exercises, games, brainstorming, group discussions, experience sharing group reporting are some of the techniques used to draw out the group and facilitate identification and sharing, as also non-threatening, co-operative engagements in the context of higher education. In this context, women?s collective action and collaborative efforts in terms of mobilizing resources to achieve the common goal of fostering gender friendly workplaces could be viewed as an alternative possibility of empowerment.
