The National Socialist Women’s Organisation of Nagalim (NSWON) has issued statement condemning the rising cases of violence, discrimination, and insecurity faced by women in Naga society.

In a statement issued on November 15, the NSWON Chairperson Hosheli Achumi stated, “The male dominated society has become a symbol of, way too much insecurity amongst the womenfolk, where the feminine gender is only viewed from the focal lenses of satiating the opposite gender’s urges or having to go through the unspoken brutality of domestic violence.”
