Uneven Progress: The Struggles of Women Workers in Northeast India

The landscape of female labour in the Northeast states and Union territories is undergoing transformation, but not uniformly. While some regions show promising growth in women's participation, others lag behind, raising critical questions about government accountability regarding gender equity in employment.

This uneven progress highlights a troubling reality: many women are still denied equal opportunities in the workforce. What has the government done to ensure that women in these regions can access decent jobs and fair wages? The disparity in participation rates calls for urgent interventions.

In a country striving for equality, how can we hold authorities accountable for their promises to uplift marginalized groups, especially women in the Northeast?
