Forfatter
Chakma, SutapaSammendrag
This paper examines the fundamental causes of economic violence directed towards
Indigenous women living in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh. The research
examines how the indigenous women of CHT face challenges such as restricted financial
control and decision-making authority along with effects on their mental health. Indigenous
women in CHT face multiple economic and social barriers which result from their exclusion
at both community levels and in national policies. The intricate and layered aspects of their
oppression mean that broad perspectives fail to represent their lived experiences. The research
has been approached from an intersectional framework, to examine the real-life experience of
indigenous women in CHT. The research findings offer foundational knowledge for
developing targeted and context-specific policies and programs to address economic violence
against Indigenous women in the CHT, highlighting the influence of customary laws and
societal gender norms on their lived experiences.
