Subaltern Urbanisation: Who will speak for slums women?

Abstract

This paper goes to look at the impact of urbanisation on slums women. The phrase “subaltern urbanisation”, at one level, is probably, best seen as a literary device to focus attention on our space of enquiry, to extend the likelihood of discursive engagement, arguably in the tradition of another such phrase, viz, “global city”. This paper deals with the expertise of ladies and women living in slum communities in cities and domestic violence on these women particularly in Aligarh city. This study makes the project work all totally different from alternative as because the woman and girls share their personal struggles and experiences which they long faced, and still facing once they migrated from their native places to the slums of Aligarh, this shows the loopholes within the urban growth. However, this article is concerned with the limits of and alternatives of subaltern urbanism. Here, this analysis talks about the methodology of the work, realities behind the migration of woman and also the harsh realities they face in urban areas slums, which incident of violence against women and what attract women to the cities.” This report based on the research work which shows that how the women are subaltern in their families and the society simultaneously. First, I might wish to give thanks to those women who share their personal life experiences and I would also like to thank my friends who always being there with me during my survey and at the time of interview which helped me a lot in my task.
