The Rongmei women in Manipur are coming up progressively in the socio-Political spheres. The roles of both men and women are compositely important but the traditional custom has not given women the equal rights in the Rongmei society. Women are confined to the household jobs that’s impacted the thinking and attitude of man toward women. Women themselves are compromised to the state of affairs. They appear vulnerable and soft in the presence of men. Such situation affects their status to a great extent. They have no direct access to public spheres and they are not encouraged to participate in politics or admirative related activities and in the court of justice in the village Pei or area level. This ancient system of men dominated society concerning the Rongmei Naga tribe is still prevalent without change.
