520			_aThe poor in Bangladesh are in chains. Though invisible, the chains are powerful and have kept millions of people prisoners of poverty. What are these chains and how can the poor break them? To develop an understanding of these chains and provide support to the poor to enable them to break them has been at the core of Proshika's Participatory Development Strategy. The unshackling of the chains calls for empowerment of the poor. It is a process of organization-buliding among the poor heightening their consciousness about the forces of underemployment, developing their material autonomy and increasing their participation so that they assume more control of their life and livelihood. This process of empowerment has enabled people to take social, economic and cultural action for their development.
