| dc.description.abstract | The north-eastern part of India is isolated from the rest of India, both geographically
and economically. As the region abruptly descends to the plains of the mainland, cultural,
social and economic contrasts are strongly evident. An ongoing struggle by people trying
to establish their right to autonomy, in most of the seven north-eastern states, which has
led to political instability, strife and outright violence in the region. The ongoing armedconflict
situation has intensified the violence faced by women, which takes the form of
sexual, mental or physical abuse, killings and clashes. NMA (Naga Mother’s Association)
as non-goverment organisation have work together to intervene at national and local level
to stop the violence. Although the region has witnessed a resurgence of patriarchal values
and norms, NMA extended their traditional role as peacemaker. Therefore, this study aims
to determine the role of NMA (Naga Mother’s Association) to peace proess in Northeast
India. | en_US |
