In the light of the findings in most of the chapters in this volume, I argue that the institutional relations that women experience in the public sphere after they join the microcredit programs have resulted in further impediments for their empowerment. In fact, the institutional relations that underpin the microcredit programs may suppress the potentialities of local sources of empowerment. Current studies take the superiority of public domain over private domain for granted, instead of examining how the institutional relations within and between them are framed by microcredit and the resulting consequences for women.
