The unorganized sector, which is characterized by informal and low-skilled labor, presents particular difficulties for the health and wellbeing of women. Musculoskeletal injuries and diseases are caused by physical risks such exposure to hazardous substances and strenuous physical labor. Women's health and general well-being are impacted by psychosocial hazards such as unstable employment, work-life imbalance, and gender-based discrimination. These difficulties become even worse by a lack of occupational health and safety safeguards, such as poor infrastructure and restricted access to health care. This paper highlights the health consequences of these hazards and discusses the implication for policy and intervention. It calls for improved awareness, legal protections, health care access and social support to address the occupational health needs of women in the unorganized sector. By recognizing their contributions and promoting safe working conditions, we can protect the health and rights of these women fostering a more equitable and inclusive work environment. The present paper focuses on the occupational health hazards and problems of women working in the unorganised sector. The study is of qualitative nature totally based on secondary data which was collected from journals and websites.
