Women in the unorganized sector face a multitude of challenges that often go unnoticed or unaddressed. This sector is characterized by informal employment, lack of job security, and limited labor protections, disproportionately affects women. To address the issues of unorganized workers many laws including Unorganized Workers Social Security Act, 2008 were passed.
