Women farmers and labourers face systemic discrimination in India. Violence at the workplace is pervasive and impacts their wellbeing and economic opportunities. This study unpacks everyday violence faced by rural women in spaces such as farms, markets, and other agricultural worksites, and the redressal mechanisms and their access to victims of violence. The study is informed by qualitative research conducted in seven districts in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Telangana in 2021.
This study was conducted as a partnership between the Feminist Policy Collective (FPC) and Mahila Kisan Adhikaar Manch (MAKAAM), with the generous support of Society for Health Alternatives (SAHAJ), Area Networking and Development Initiatives (ANANDI), and Society for Promoting Participative Ecosystem Management (SOPPECOM).
