The Eastern Himalaya region covers a geographical area that spans
five nations and has diverse landscapes, a multitude of ethnic
groups and a rich variety of flora and fauna. The region is
relatively poor in terms of GDP and per capita income;
industrialisation and infrastructure is under-developed;
climate-induced disasters are frequent; and maternal and infant
mortality rates are high. Economic constraints combined with
restrictive cultural norms create barriers for women in education,
employment and decision-making, thus further entrenching unequal
gender relations. This book explores the ways in which
gender-sensitive and inclusive policies can be developed to address
the basic issues of marginalisation, livelihood, poverty and
vulnerability in the Eastern Himalayas. The chapters in the volume
touch upon current concerns, such as the economic and social
challenges faced by women, their control over resources, questions
of patriarchy, discrimination, gender rights and equity,
information, empowerment and participation, and women as agents of
change. This volume will be useful to researchers and scholars in
gender studies, sociology and social anthropology, development
studies, economic and human geography, politics, northeast and
Himalayan studies, South Asian studies, as well as policymakers and
those in the development sector and non-governmental organisations.
