2. To recommend that all Special Procedures work with local Indian organisations to take
up issues of Dalit women including violence against Dalit women in local governance,
3. Recommend that the Human Rights Council create Special Procedure on
Discrimination on the Basis of Work and Descent
We urge the Government of India to:
I. Launch a widespread social education campaign on promoting inclusive
democracy through the free and independent participation of Dalits, Tribal and
women in the local governance.
2. Independently monitor the situation of local reserved panchayats in order to
ensure discriminatory and obstructive practices against Dalit, Tribal and
other women elected representatives are prevented, and bring such cases to
the Election Commission at national and state levels with rigorous follow up
procedures.
