3 example of this. Born and raised in an untouchable family in a small town in eastern Nepal, I was able to get into a reputed university in Australia for my post-graduate program in Women’s Studies. This formal education equipped me to critically interrogate my own life, my family, and the society, especially through the perspectives of caste, gender, and sexuality, and to become a stronger social justice activist and thinker. It has helped me to imagine how Nepal and the world look when seen through a Dalit woman’s eyes. The situation of Dalit women’s human rights is far worse than that of Dalit men. Dalit women are oppressed in multiple ways, oppressed by caste, gender, class and patriarchy. Yet Dalit women are often forgotten when we talk about Dalit human rights. They are also forgotten when we talk about women’s human rights. One thing I have learned from my experience of collaborating with Dalit women so far is that recognizing these multiple, layered, and intertwined oppressions of Dalit women is crucial in the promotion of the human rights of Dalit women as minorities within a minority. The other thing I want to highlight in this forum is that as a Dalit woman myself as well as my experience of working with other Dalit women, I feel that we need more opportunities and more support to better articulate our agency and voice, better mobilize resources, and eventually protect our human rights. Lastly, as there are donors, supporters, and well-wishers of minority issues here in this gathering, I would like to request you all to please support and invest in young Dalit
