| contents | <p><span>The present sociological study examines the health problems faced by women labourers working in grape farms in Tasgaon taluka of Sangli district, Maharashtra. Using fieldwork and survey methods, data were collected from 120 women workers and 4 doctors to understand their working conditions, lifestyle, and occupational health issues. Findings reveal that women workers perform long hours of labour-intensive tasks and are exposed to harmful chemicals such as gibberellic acid, pesticides, and especially hydrogen cyanide during grape processing. Most workers are illiterate and lack access to protective equipment, health awareness, and social security measures. A significant proportion suffer from skin diseases, allergies, infections, and other health complications related to chemical exposure. The study highlights the urgent need for improved workplace safety, health education, and institutional support for women grape workers.</span></p> |
