Dalit Women and Human Rights: Voices, Struggles, and Dignity by Manoharlal Tomar

Description

Dalit women face intersecting forms of discrimination due to their caste, class, and gender, resulting in multiple vulnerabilities to human rights violations like violence, exploitation, and lack of access to basic services and justice. They are subjected to systemic disadvantage and social exclusion rooted in the caste system, making them particularly vulnerable to physical and sexual violence, trafficking, and forced prostitution. Efforts to advance their human rights involve grassroots campaigns, legal advocacy, and challenging discriminatory practices through both national and international human rights frameworks.
