Abstract

Meitei women, in particular, bear a heavy burden, facing heightened risks of displacement and gender-based violence. They encounter numerous challenges in overcrowded camps, where they shoulder caregiving responsibilities. Amid their struggle for survival, the concept of dignity often fades away. This paper critically evaluates government initiatives designed to support Meitei women, focusing on relief efforts, rehabilitation programs, and policies that address their socio-economic and psychological needs. The study identifies significant gaps in these interventions, challenges in reaching the most marginalized populations, and the broader implications for women's empowerment in conflict-affected areas. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines qualitative in-depth interviews with displaced women and key stakeholders, alongside an analysis of existing government programs and their outcomes. A sample of 10-20% of displaced women from 5-10 displacement camps across five valley districts will be selected for the study.
