In the present study, an attempt has been made to discuss the difficulties faced by Dalit (SC) woman labourers at the workplace in the rural areas of Haryana. The present study relates to 2020-21 and is based on a sample of 535 rural Dalit woman labour households. The analysis reveals that more than half (60.57 per cent) started working as labourers when they were less than 20 years of age. Only 12.52 per cent of women labourers have some facilities at the workplace, while a large majority of them, i.e., 87.48 per cent are not provided with any facility. One-third of the respondents, i.e., 37.57 per cent have reported that female labourers are paid less wages as compared to their male counterparts for the same work. About 35 per cent have been discriminated against at the workplace based on their caste. The analysis further reveals that 15.88 per cent of the total respondents faced sexual exploitation. Another 26.92 per cent of respondents faced no such type of harassment at the workplace. However, the majority of the respondents 57.20 per cent gave no response regarding this. This may have been because of saving their chastity in society
