Dalit Women Issues and Perspectives

Dalit women have been facing lot of violence from various areas. Dalit women including male are considered untouchables by caste Hindus. Dalit women become victim of their male partners when they use alcohol. They are also facing hardship due to the child marriage double marriage bride price and even dowry systems that prevail in the society. Many organizations have lobbied to change the way that Dalits are treated in Indian society and a number of laws have been passed in attempts to outlaw discrimination. There are millions of Dalits who are still working as scavengers sweepers leather workers rag pickers beggars sexual workers etc. and it is our little courtesy to oppose anyone who goes against this reservation. This opposition should continue till every Dalit gets educated and represented.
