According to studies, social
movements can act as the 1st step
towards developing a sense of SELF-
IDENTITY and CITIZENSHIP.
According to Kabeer (2006), “A sense of
citizenship normally starts with people’s own
agendas – they create a political identity
around a matter that immediately affects their
lives. Group membership amongst those who
are marginalized and the sense of dignity and
solidarity that come with this can stimulate
people to aspire as a precursor to political
engagement.”
