Tribal women belong to one the most vulnerable groups in Kerala. Socially, economically and culturally these women are oppressed and suppressed. They are not fully included in the main stream developmental activities of either the state or the national economy. They are not formally educated, employed and empowered. They are not only income poor but ability poor also.
