Sexual violence against women, specifically with regards to dalit women is an epidemic in India. It is the state's way of maintaining dominance over the dalits - a group of people who were considered as 'untouchables' in India's regressive caste system. (4/5)
Nodeep used her voice to speak against this epidemic. She is a beacon of light. Lots and lots of prayers for Nodeep Kaur’s safety and release. In solidarity with Nodeep Kaur.
Use your platforms to bring light to Nodeep Kaur.
