Empowering women in the Naga Society: Issues, Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

This study looks at how women in Nagaland, a state in northeastern India, are doing in terms of being empowered. Nagaland has a unique mix of cultural traditions and is going through some big political changes. We're digging into how things used to be for women there and how it affects them now. Traditional ways in Nagaland often put men in charge, and we want to see how that affects gender roles today. We're also looking at how different tribes and communities in Nagaland have their own cultures, which might affect women differently. We're also checking out how politics in Nagaland affects women's empowerment. We're seeing how women are involved in political groups and whether special rules to include women make a difference. We're also looking at how conflicts and fighting in the area affect women. We're also seeing what challenges and chances women face in getting resources, making choices, and breaking gender rules, both in public and at home. We're also looking at how local efforts, like community projects and government help, are trying to make things better for women in Nagaland.
