Abstract Voices from the Margins: Exploring Socio-Economic Challenges of Urban Slum Communities” is a grassroots research initiative aimed at understanding the everyday struggles and systemic neglect faced by residents of urban slums. This report sheds light on the multifaceted challenges encountered by these communities, including limited access to education, inadequate healthcare, unemployment, poor housing conditions, lack of sanitation, and social exclusion. Through field visits, interviews, surveys, and participatory observations, the study captures the lived experiences of slum dwellers in their own voices.
The report emphasizes how structural inequalities and urban policies often overlook slum populations, deepening cycles of poverty and marginalization. It also explores how individuals and families adapt and survive despite harsh living conditions and limited opportunities. Special attention is given to vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly, whose needs are frequently ignored in mainstream urban development plans.
By presenting these insights, the study seeks to contribute to more inclusive policy-making and community-driven development. The findings call for urgent action to bridge the gap between marginalized communities and the broader urban society. This report is a step toward amplifying unheard voices and promoting social justice in the rapidly growing urban landscape.
