Across the countries of India, Thailand, the Philippines, and Fiji, grassroots women share more commonalities than differences in terms of how they view emit. While NGO language and economic, social, and cultural circumstances categorise these women as "grassroots" women, they actually share many of the same notions of empowerment that one might find in any women's studies course: trust and capacity-building, recognising one's rights, capacity of transforming the community, belonging to a group, promoting and communicating love, peace, and faith, and traveling to the wider world are all ways of feeling empowered.
