U.S. TARIFFS IMPACT WOMEN IN LABOUR-INTENSIVE SECTORS

The US tariffs on Indian goods are causing a decline in export orders, particularly in labour-intensive sectors like textiles, apparel, and handicrafts. This threatens the livelihoods of millions of women, especially in the informal sector, who lack social security. To counter this, India's government is focusing on market diversification, FTAs, and strengthening domestic manufacturing.
