Women in India face devastating inequities in maternal health outcomes and health care access based on their ethnicity, where they live and their income. In Assam, the world’s largest tea growing region, many women pick tea leaves six days a week for low wages and rarely receive the health benefits guaranteed to them by law. The paralegals and activists we support are Indigenous Adivasi women from the communities they serve, facilitating the trust and understanding required to effectively identify, document and report violations and disparities at their root.
