Overview
There are over two-hundred million Dalitsā people designated as "untouchable" ā across South Asia. Dalit women are subject to greater oppression than men: many are denied access to education, meaningful employment and healthcare and are subjected to temple prostitution and rape. A Cry for Dignity explores the lives of Dalit women and the violence they face and examines whether their spirituality ā manifest in songs, stories and myth ā is a source of strength or oppression. The lives of Dalit women on the subcontinent are set within the broader context of Dalits in the diaspora.ćA Cry for Dignity presents the plight of Dalit women from the unique perspective of their own movements for solidarity and justice.
