Amnesty International claimed in a new study released today that the Nepali government is not doing enough to shield Dalits, especially women and girls, from widespread and systemic caste-based discrimination.
An Indian journalist who is also a member of the low caste community runs a news website with reports from long-marginalized groups. With 300 million members of the Dalit community, Meena Kotwal hopes that raising awareness of these concerns would help end the discrimination they face on a regular basis.
