Abstract

This research paper explores the historical experiences of women indentured laborers, examining their motivations for migration, the conditions they faced, and the ways in which they were objectified within colonial systems. Predominantly recruited for labor on plantations, these women sought to escape violence, patriarchal oppression, and economic instability. Despite their aspirations for autonomy and empowerment, they encountered systemic exploitation, marked by significant wage disparities and a lack of agency. The paper highlights their marginalization across multiple axes, including gender, caste, and class, while also acknowledging their resilience in the face of adversity. Through a multidisciplinary lens, this study aims to amplify the voices of these women and integrate their narratives into broader discussions of labor, gender, and social justice.
