From Livelihoods to Justice - Why Legal Literacy Is Central to Women’s Economic Empowerment in Rural India
2:00 PM onwards
As rural women expand their economic participation through SHGs and national livelihood missions, income gains continue alongside persistent violence, limited legal awareness, and fragmented access to justice. This discussion positions legal literacy as the missing link between economic participation and real agency, exploring how rights awareness within livelihood systems can convert earnings into safety, dignity, and enforceable justice.
