The project’s aim is to contribute to transnational migrant wives’ empowerment in rural north-west Pakistan. While women’s status in rural north-west Pakistan is low anyway, their husbands’ migration has been identified as a major factor further increasing their vulnerability. Social support networks based on common interest and characterised by comparatively egalitarian relationships are a means to strengthen their resilience. Women’s shared experience of and exposure to the mechanisms of male domination may form the basis of a strategy for change. They possibly offer them an alternative route to material resources and claims.
