We also warned the pradhan to step down if he failed to deliver.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Bhanumati of Chaluha Nari Sangh from Mihi-Purva village in Baharich district said: &#8216;The local public distribution system (PDS) shop owner was a big cheat, but our Nari Sangh (women&#8217;s union) has compelled him to mend his ways.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Talking about the achievement of the collective power of women in her village, Pushpa Devi of Ambedkar Nari Sangh from Babedi area in Ghazipur said: &#8216;We were not getting timely payments due under the rural employment guarantee scheme. So, the women of Nari Sangh staged a sit-in at the block development office, following which timely payments were ensured.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>There were several other success stories of women from different villages of eastern Uttar Pradesh, who have got out of their shell and dared to raise their voice against male domination and domestic violence.<\/p>\n<p>Pooja, president of block level Naari Manch with 5,000 women members, spoke about how they had succeeded in advocating the rights of women and had raised their voice against corruption with the help of RTI (right to information).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From taking on corrupt officials to striving for greater rights for themselves, a women&#8217;s convention in this Uttar Pradesh town unfolded bold narrations of success stories of rural women, who dared to speak out.
