A Study on the Violence of Dalit women Right in Western Odisha

Abstract

All persons are born free and with equal rights. As a result of profoundly unbalanced social, economic, and political power dynamics, caste- and gender-based violence against Dalit women is pervasive. Due to their socioeconomic weakness, lack of political representation, and the predominate risk factors of being Dalit and female, they are more likely to encounter potentially violent circumstances while having less time to flee as a result. Violence against Dalit women is blatant proof of pervasive exploitation and discrimination against these women, who are subjected to men in a patriarchal society in terms of power relationships, as well as against their caste-based communities. If left with residuary function and subsidiary position in work participation, no country can advance its half of the population. Low levels of literacy, skills, and income-earning capacity for women are anchored in society and substantially impede economic growth and human advancement as a whole. In an effort to change the situation, independent India has declared that gender equality is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution and has directed state policy on removing the many obstacles that stand in the way of women achieving their full potential.
