The Intersectionality of Socio-Economic Status and Domestic Violence among Tribal Women in Manipur

Abstract

This study investigates the intersectionality of socio-economic status and domestic violence among tribal women in Manipur, India. The study points out how domestic violence intensifies due to specific cultural and financial elements that characterize this area. Research data collected from 150 tribal women undergoes mixed-methods analysis because it combines qualitative and quantitative measures to study the multidimensional link between household incomes and domestic abuse occurrences. The research reveals that domestic violence primarily targets uneducated and economically unstable groups of people whose cultural traditions heighten their exposure to violence. The study emphasizes the requirement for interventions that focus on tribal cultural environments, together with educational programs, economic growth, and violence prevention education, to prevent domestic abuse. This study analyzes current government initiatives and approving legislation to detect limitations in service provision for tribal women. The study helps expand knowledge about domestic violence's social and economic factors while promoting specific solutions that benefit tribal women's well-being in Manipur.
