Women suffer a lot because of these policies. Women have been playing a vital role in the production of food grain in India. But because of mechanised farming and cash crop production they are thrown out of this system. The most vulnerable situation which has been created is of migration. And because of migration women suffer. They get sexually harassed, exploited...The living conditions in urban areas are very poor, especially for women. Their living pattern changes. The life is more insecure as compared to their native places. And all this is definitely going to affect our society at a larger level.
