Union Budget 2020-21 allocates a mere 0.8% (Rs.7986.34Cr.) for Dalit women and 0.34% (Rs. 3174.91Cr.) for Adivasi women from the total eligible Centrally Sponsored Schemes and Central Sector Schemes! Budget Justice?? #16Days#prajnya16days @PriyankaSamy@ncdhr@dalitwomenrise
Almost 46,000 crimes were registered against Dalits in 2019 but the conviction rates are only 28%. Sexual violence on Dalit women reveals a pattern of impunity enjoyed by dominant caste State & nonstate perpetrators. #16Days#prajnya16days @PriyankaSamy@ManjulaHPradeep@sitara1

Let's begin with understanding online violence. What is it, why it occurs, who is more likely to experience it, and how does it manifest in digital spaces. Have thoughts about these? Share and let us know here! Read on to understand more about it. #Prajnya16Days#nosgbv
Violence is always about power, both online and offline. One’s identities, such as gender, caste, sexuality etc., play a crucial role in how online as well as offline spaces are experienced by us. The power hierarchies that govern society also govern the Internet. #Prajnya16Days
