The utter disregard for the rights and lives of Dalit women is disheartening.
70 years after the constitutional abolishment of the caste system in India, the Dalit people are still discriminated against and treated as treated as the “untouchables”.

The societally ingrained stratifications have greatly contributed to the constant outbursts of violence against the Dalit people, with especially Dalit girls and women sexually assaulted on a daily basis.

Dalit women rights are human rights. Dalit women have the rights to access speedy responses. They have the rights to seek redress in court. They have the rights to safety AT ALL TIMES irrespective of skin colour, class, religion, &/or perceived caste.

The standard of human rights must be upheld for Dalit women. It's not enough for laws to just exist anymore. These laws must protect Dalit women. The government must uphold the rights of Dalit women or step down for those who can ably represent them.
