In today�s world it is believed that women can do anything they want but still sometimes they face gender discrimination in the form of inequality, favouritism and their voice is supressed by man. This project work summarizes the need for the upliftment and empowerment of women in the Indian society, where for a long time women have been considered to be the inferior gender and are not provided equal opportunities and working conditions as compared to that provided to man. In this report emphasis has been laid towards the women of the North-eastern states of India and how these women have not only been empowered but also there voice has been amplified in this region from past few years with the help of government and NGOs that run for the betterment of women. The study reveals that in some parts of northeast India still activities like polygamy, substance abuse, violence against women at home etc. are practised and women are constrained to their homes though in other parts of the northeast women are much independent and are considered to be the head of the family and decision makers, have their say in the society and are free to work for themselves and their families wellbeing. Further there has been use of secondary data from reliable and authorised sights in support of this research work.
