A Cry for Dignity : Religion, Violence and the Struggle of Dalit Women in India PDF
by Mary Grey
Part of the Religion and Violence series
Description
There are over two-hundred million Dalits– people designated as "untouchable" – 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 – manifest in songs, stories and myth – 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.
A Cry for Dignity presents the plight of Dalit women from the unique perspective of their own movements for solidarity and justice.
