Zusammenfassung:India's informal sector faces issues like irregular work schedules, wage theft, and sexual harassment, particularly among women in construction. Rapid industrialization and urbanization accelerate women's migration, resulting in inadequate remuneration and health hazards. Women's empowerment and the fight against poverty depend heavily on education and empowerment. This research looks at women's political knowledge and engagement in the Vellore District of Tamil Nadu. It focuses on issues related to money and career, political preferences, voting behavior, and perspectives from the construction sector. The major driver of India's economy, the informal sector employs 46.5 crore people, yet it suffers difficulties like isolation, substandard housing, low wages, hard labor, and a lack of occupational health care. Examining 60 Tamil Nadu families' election participation, the study highlights the ethical, legal, and democratic ramifications of gender discrimination in Indian society by showing that demanding behaviors frequently result in less demanding ones. The study explores women's political engagement in the construction industry in Vellore District, focusing on voting, running for office, and organizing activities, influenced by internet campaign news. All parties are welcome to join research organizations, however workers of the government and semi-government are not allowed to join political parties. Tamil Nadu encourages gender equality, yet there are barriers for women in the areas of work, education, and empowerment. This research article aims to analyze the political awareness and participation of women construction workers in Vellore District, Tamil Nadu, focusing on issues like political preferences, voting patterns, and construction sector opinions, using secondary sources and statistical data. According to this point of view, the current situation is both critically important and relevant in terms of both the economy and society.
