Abstract

This report is brought out in the context of the present crisis of human rights vis-à-vis mining in India, from the perspective of gender equality and justice. Mining is only now being made visible from the context of its impacts on women in the communities, directly and indirectly affected by the industry. Yet even today the rhetorical question of whether mining has anything to do with women remains predominant in the minds of the public, policy makers and political representatives.
