Unheard and Unseen: Indigenous Women's Path to Empowerment and Sustainable Development (VOLUME 1)

Volume 1 (South Asia): Bangladesh, India and Nepal

The three country studies in this volume reflect the disempowerment of indigenous women, resulting from intersecting factors over time and space in heterogenous societies in a part of South Asia. The complex barrier created by overlaying sheets of colonial oppression and discrimination, patriarchy and feudalism...has yet to be addressed substantially if we are to achieve the goals set in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the present Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
