What the paper says

The article studies the interrelationship between forests, livelihood and gender in Assam. The nature of ownership and control over forests has been changing, leading to significant gender implications. There are different reasons why forests are disappearing. These affect the Karbi tribal women who depend on the forest for their sustenance. The article argues that the core of the environmental rights and gender debate must include the question of who controls and determines access and use of resources. This study explores inequalities in the changing forest landscape experienced by Karbi tribal women and raises their concerns on having less representation and voice in environmental decisions.
