Adivasi Women's Rights

Adivasi women, belonging to India’s indigenous communities, face unique challenges regarding their rights. They often grapple with issues like land ownership, access to education, and healthcare. Despite laws protecting their rights, such as the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers Act, enforcement is weak. Adivasi women strive for empowerment, advocating for their cultural identities, social justice, and economic independence. They play a crucial role in preserving their communities and ecosystems, yet they struggle against discrimination and marginalization. Efforts to support their rights focus on integrating their voices in policy-making and recognizing their contributions to society.
