dc.description.abstractDalit women encompass not only gender deprivation and economic deprivation, but also discrimination associated with religion, caste and untouchability - resulting in denial of economic, social, cultural and political rights. Dalit feminist discourse asserts that Indian feminist discourse is exclusive and selective in its focus, invariably ignoring issues of caste. Excluded women are not 'just like' the rest of the women: Dalit women suffer from triple deprivation – gender, poverty and social exclusion. The report presents selected evidence on the nature and forms of caste-based discrimination suffered by Dalit women in seeking access to sources of livelihood and social needs.en
