#Budget2020 is atrocious for #DalitWomen! #DALITWOMENFIGHT's @elite_dalit, a trained budget analyst, explains how! #DalitBudget #GenderBudget
POSHAN Abhiyaan, a scheme initiated by GoI aims at reaching out to women, men & children in general, irrespective of caste backgrounds.However, Rs. 764 crores in the year 2019-20 & Rs. 200 crores for the year 2020-21 have been diverted for the scheme from #DalitBudget.
The Adolescent Girls (AG) Scheme aims at breaking adolescent girls' inter-generational life-cycle of nutritional and gender disadvantage, irrespective of their caste background. Yet, Rs. 50 crores have been diverted from the #DalitBudget for the scheme.
For the Anganwadi Services, Rs.5192.87 crores in 2019-20 & Rs. 5174.08 crores for 2020-21 have been diverted from the #DalitBudget. Under the scheme, all children in the age group of 0-6 yrs, as well as pregnant & lactating mothers can avail its benefits.#Budget2020 #GenderBudget
Does the Anganwadi and workers only cater to the scheduled castes? Why such a huge allocation has been made from the #DalitBudget? #Budget2020 #GenderBudget
Under Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana, a maternity benefit program run by the government of India for pregnant and lactating women of 19 years of age or above for the first live birth, Rs. 500 crores for both the consecutive years have been diverted from #DalitBudget.
Mahila Shakti Kendra Yojana focuses on the empowerment of rural women irrespective of their caste backgrounds. However, Rs. 20 crores have been diverted from the #DalitBudget for the scheme. #Budget2020 #GenderBudget

Citizenship Amendment Act (#CAA) by BJP govt plans to grant citizenship to minorities (except Muslims) from #Afghanistan, #Pakistan & #Bangladesh. National Register of Citizens (#NRC) will identify illegal residents. Does this affect SC/ST/NT/OBC? #NRCAgainstReservation
How will the government separate “illegal residents” from “genuine citizens”? All Indian residents, Atheist, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jain, Buddhist, Anglo-Indian, Brahmin, Dalits, Baniya, OBC, Kshatriya, etc will have to show documents & prove they're *genuine citizens*. #CAA
Those who cannot provide documents will be declared as *illegal residents*. A large majority of SC/ST/OBC/NT are poor & illiterate due to structural reasons & they do not have documents which the government will ask. #CAA #NRCAgainstReservation

@dalitwomenfight
Many of you have taken the time to read this thread. Thank you. Pls note that it is not our burden to educate others about caste privilege and neither about intersections. Unpacking is a difficult task. Please make the effort. #jaibhim
We are using our time to work with young women leaders from our communities to support survivors and families of victims of heinous crimes. The task is daunting and our efforts may seem miniscule but are significant and critical at this time.
Navigating intersections of the law is exhausting. The SC/ST Act is notorious for its poor implementation. POCSO and other IPC sections are rarely invoked for us. As a result single digit conviction rates shows no hope of access to justice for #dalitwomen

anti-caste feminist statement on #metooindia from #DALITWOMENFIGHT

We are in solidarity with ALL survivors of sexual violence. We affirm that each one of them have a right to be heard, to be believed, to access justice and to live life with dignity.
#metoo
We unequivocally condemn anti-survivor statements made by people across communities. We also call out the complicity of those that remain silent at this time.
As Dalit women, we write this statement at a difficult and a perplexing time. We have been wondering about the ‘me’ in #metooindia and have not been able to locate ourselves in this current framework.

What have I denied @sophie10790977?
I've typed nothing but FACTS, and if you dislike actual historical proveable FACTS, it's you who is denying reality

I ask you- Debunk these facts, tell me I'm wrong, because this has gone on far too long

Ask detailed and pointed questions, our historians fall short. They don’t really know when, where, or how the Jews died. They have no technical explanation of how it was possible, for example, to gas thousands of people per day in a single room, and then to dispose of their

bodies—such that not a trace remains. They cannot find the mass graves that allegedly held thousands of bodies. They cannot explain wartime aerial photographs that show a disturbingly calm Auschwitz camp.

#THREAD: Details from yesterday's closing arguments in the federal trial against #NXIVM leader Keith Raniere. The day began around 9:30 with AUSA Moira Penza giving the prosecution's arguments. news10.com/news/local-new…
She began by describing many known NXIVM locations in Clifton Park. Penza says 127 Grenadier Court was Allison Mack's condo where the branding of women took place with their "arms above head like a sacrifice."
2 Flintlock where she says Raniere took sexually explicit photos including those of a 15 year old. 120 Victory Way, where she says DOS witness Nicole was tied to a table, blindfolded, not knowing she was being videotaped.

Yes #SmashBrahmanicalPatriarchy and every other kind of patriarchy, misogyny & #sexism regardless of the caste, class, race or religion that habits it. And they all do. But this poster #JackDorsey held was interesting for a number of reasons which I will discuss in this thread.
2/ Firstly, the picture on this poster of a #Dalit woman, reinforces upper-caste, discriminatory, caste stereotypes that holds that the lower caste are dark skinned with Afroid hair & facial features. We all know this untrue. There is no way you can identify caste by color!
3/ In fact it is this kind of stereotype about what Dalit women look like and do, which Jack's poster reinforces, that Dalit women in India have been fighting. #jackinindia

As a Dalit woman, the last few days of India’s #MeToo have been both triggering and confusing. I’ve tried to follow it as much as I can and the more I do, I realise how important it is to have a conversation on value.
How are we (as women/non-men) valued in relationships, at work, inside our homes, and in our communities? And who are the ones determining this value? #MeToo
To me, that’s what #MeToo is all about - it ultimately boils down to whether women/non-men are treated as people who have feelings, a body, and a spirit. The fact that so many women, albeit from non-Dalit backgrounds, are outing men for their horrific behaviors +

#Dalitwomen are most often victims/survivors of sexual abuse, including of those that are not always legally identified as crimes. And the law has failed us. Progressive communities haven’t responded adequately either. It has been a lonely battle and will continue to be so.
Stories of sexual abuse, especially those that name Dalit men, are therefore uniquely triggering for us. We stand by the survivors, like we all need to, unequivocally, because we are victims ourselves.
We believe the victims, their EVERY WORD, because we’ve lived through the experience of being dismissed as liars so often, by friends and allies alike.
