Stop Violence Against Dalit Women in India
Organization information
Karuna Trust
Location: London, United Kingdom
Summary
This project works to empower Dalit and Tribal women's groups to come together to tackle issues of violence against women in India. 70% of Indian women are victims of domestic violence. Reported rapes increased to 33,707 in 2013. Many more cases go unreported and marital rape is not a criminal offence in India. Dalit and Adivasi women are particularly vulnerable to violence due to their low social and economic status.
