Women in Indian-administered Kashmir have been at the receiving end throughout the decades old conflict, which has taken a toll on their daily lives. 
Srinagar, Indian-administered Kashmir - On August 5, the Indian government withdrew Article 370 of India's constitution, which gave the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir partial autonomy.
The article, abrogated in a cloak-and-dagger manner by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, was followed by the imposition of a stringent curfew in the Himalayan region and the snapping of phone and internet connections.
On Tuesday, the worst lockdown in more than 70 years of conflict in Kashmir will enter its 100th day.
