Triple Marginalization: Understanding the Challenges of Migrant Muslim Women in Telangana

Author(s) Dr. Mohammed Ghouse

Abstract This paper analyses an intersectional experience of triple marginalization of migrant Muslim women in Telangana, India, with the help of the intersectional framework. The migrant Muslim women experience a revised discrimination because of their gender, religious affiliation, and as migrants with strange obstacles to education, employment, healthcare, and integration into the societies. Using the Sachar Committee Report, National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), and the recent caste census in Telangana (2025) and academic sources on intersectionality, this paper will reveal the interaction of these three axes of marginalization to create systematic disadvantages. It is found that the work participation levels of Muslim women in Telangana (39% total, 90% within households with unemployed males) are lowest, educational levels are low, access to formal jobs is minimal, and women are more vulnerable to exploitation in domestic and informal sectors. Migration exacerbates such issues, including social loneliness, absence of legal status, and ineligibility to welfare programs. According to the paper, policy interventions are needed to acknowledge the intersectional nature of the marginalization and cater to the unique needs of the multiply disadvantaged population by offering specific education programs, employment opportunities, and legal protection of migrant workers, as well as inclusive social welfare policies.
