Problems Faced by the North East Women in the Mainland Indian State

Abstract

A diverse range of tribal communities and subgroups from the states of Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Nagaland, and Tripura make up the northeastern region. It resembles a little version of India. Despite this, the population believes it to be a homogeneous society. Many individuals, including women, have migrated to the mainland Indian states, particularly to the nation's major cities, due to the region's lack of infrastructure, job creation, and educational opportunities. However, many of them, especially the women in the community, are subject to numerous racially discriminatory, socially degrading, sexually assaulting, harassing, and abusive platforms because of the stratification system that society has created in terms of the hierarchical treatment of people in terms of race, gender, place of birth, etc. Due to their place of origin, differences in their facial structures, different lifestyles, different eating habits, etc., many women are subjected to sexual abuse, workplace harassment, verbal abuse, mental torture, and fraudulent behavior, even though they come from a small but diverse region and live in such new, developed cities. metropolitan areas, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Kolkata, which are well-known for their advancements in infrastructure, employment prospects, educational opportunities, etc., also have a dark side to their history. Delhi is notable for having India's highest rate of crime against women. However, because of this subgrouping of women, the crimes committed by women in the northeast account for 50% of the overall crime rate percentage in the capital.itself. The following list of case laws explains the relevant circumstances that these women have encountered and managed while residing in India's capital and other pan-Indian states or major cities.
