evidence: Women in Kashmir, like women everywhere else, make important contributions to the social, cultural, and economic fabric of their communities. However, the lives of women have been significantly impacted by the protracted conflict in Kashmir. Since 1989, cases of rape, harassment, enforced disappearances, orphans, half widows, and half orphans have provided evidence of continual violence against women. Their agony has multiple layers because they suffer from physical, psychological, social, and economic problems. Kashmiri women have suffered from being uprooted, losing loved ones, and dealing with the difficulties of residing in a conflict zone. Kashmiri society is a patriarchal society, and in addition to fundamentalism, the overall lack of law in the valley amplifies the widespread violence against women. Even before the conflict, they were treated as second-class citizens, but with the increase in the magnitude of the conflict, their situation worsened. The Kashmiri people are deprived of basic needs, along with a lack of order. Not only women but also children become victims of violence and sexual assault by security forces and rebels, along with the domestic violence they face at home by their family.
