Abstract

ABSTRACT Scholars and activists have referred to the process of ‘NGOization’ as a major part of the transformation of India’s autonomous women’s movement (AWM) since the 1990s and also see this as a cause of its decline. This refers to the process of non-funded movement collectives turning into non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that are externally funded. The absence of young women in feminist collectives and at protest events, alongside the altered strategies, organizations, and goals of feminist activism, are seen as part of NGOization. However, I argue that while this process impacted feminist politics, there are several other factors that have shaped the AWM as of the 1990s, but have remained under-explored. These include movement institutionalization, demobilization, and other internal issues. My arguments are based on primary and secondary data on the AWM.
印度自主妇女运动:超越非政府组织框架
摘要自20世纪90年代以来,学者和活动家们将“非政府组织化”进程视为印度自治妇女运动转型的重要组成部分,并将其视为其衰落的原因。这是指非资助运动集体转变为外部资助的非政府组织的过程。年轻女性在女权主义集体和抗议活动中的缺席,以及女权主义激进主义的战略、组织和目标的改变,被视为非政府组织化的一部分。然而,我认为,虽然这一过程影响了女权主义政治,但截至20世纪90年代,还有其他几个因素塑造了AWM,但仍然没有得到充分的探索。其中包括运动制度化、复员和其他内部问题。我的论点是基于AWM的主要和次要数据。
