Women identity crisis in Northeast India

Abstract

Women are essential to the advancement and development of society, and there is no development tool more effective than the empowerment of women. Despite this, the world continues to waste a precious resource due to the hysterical underrepresentation of women in leadership roles, which frequently results in the exclusion of women's talents and skills in political life. Even though they have made outstanding progress in many fields and are frequently considered to be more privileged than other Indian states, Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Mizoram are marginalized in the most crucial areas of life because their absence is considered in state-building processes like decision- and policy-making in government since the States' formation. Social identities and human rights violations are brought on by gender exclusion. The marginalized group, which includes minorities, women, and children, is largely excluded, which is regrettably a multifaceted phrase that encompasses social, economic, political, and cultural sectors.
