Social attitudes, customs, gender differences, traditions and so on, are chiefly responsible for the disparity between men and women. Feminism movement is criticized that how is injustice to be judged and condemned if contestation and the openness of ungrounded universalism are the only ideals. Women in customary man centric culture have dependably been considered as a weaker section of the society. Nowadays, every one of the individuals from the society has to enjoy equality, an equal right to live, to be treated justly and to live in peace. In this paper, an attempt has been made to conceptualize certain gender specific infringement as Human Rights violation with regards to North-East India. It argues that feminism can be used to provide support for one possible understanding of equality set in the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women. So this paper is to highlight some points of gender biases, women exploitation and crimes against women and make women conversant with the basic women rights by putting the laws in action and pave the way for women empowerment.
