The Inter Press Service (IPS) recently interviewed Aruna Rao on the need for institutionalisation of women's empowerment.

Aruna argues that governance systems play a large part in women's ability to realise their rights and making their voice heard. For the full interview see: http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=38586
