This chapter makes significant headway in advancing our current thinking on gender rights in BRICS countries. It examines the strategic decisions made by women’s organizations to further their goal of advancing gender equality. Analysing gender negotiation using the lens of a second order collective action problem, the first part evaluates the costs and benefits for women’s organizations in negotiating how to overcome dominant social norms. Tracing how women’s organizations in China and India undertake strategic negotiations to overcome discrimination indicates that what is deemed to be appropriate behaviour for women, both as participants in the labour force as well as contributors to the household, provides a promising way to engage the economics of identity. The latter part of the chapter goes on to examine the role played by public interest litigation in ensuring gender equality in spheres of the household/community as well as the labour market.
