AbstractThe hunger, poverty and voicelessness are inter-related and integral parts of social stigma. People are hungry because they are poor and people are both hungry and poor because of their silence. This nexus is quite a bit stronger when it is put together with silence or lack of communication. Here in this paper, attempts have been made to find out the factors responsible for the deadly cobweb of hunger, poverty, voice and cognitive differential of two socio-ecological groups i.e. rural and semi-urban women selected from the district of South 24 parganas, West Bengal. The combination of three social decadents viz. hunger, poverty and voice has been inextricably tuned and efforts are being made to predict the dynamics of hunger, poverty, voice and cognitive differential of two social ecologies by plotting with multi-dimensional scaling technique. It is uniquely established that, there is markedly difference in terms of location, response to variables and cognitive behavioral disposition of women in the two different social ecologies.
