Transformative Policy for Poor Women

Bina Fernandez introduces a novel feminist framework for policy analysis aimed at addressing the shortcomings in policies affecting poor women. She emphasizes that policy is a complex, contested process and proposes a four-category approach: Constitutive Contexts, Representations, Practices, and Consequences. This framework allows for a deeper understanding of how policies can fail to serve marginalized groups, highlighting the need for nuanced analysis in feminist policy discourse.
