Empowering Dalit Women for Communication and Food Rights through
Community Radio
Organisation: Alternative for India Development (AID).

Country: INDIA

Alternative for India Development works to promote and practice a
rights-based approach to development and empowerment in Jharkhand
state and elsewhere. With this project, AID aims to address problems
faced by Dalit women in the Garwah District of the Jharkhand state,
including discrimination based on caste and sex, poverty, hunger and
starvation, compounded by systematic denial of the right to the
poverty line card that gives access to government food security
programmes. The project will enable the women to use community radio
to achieve active citizenship, gender justice and to reduce hunger
through achieving their entitlements. It will provide skills and
technical training to Dalit to produce a weekly radio programme to
highlight their problems in their own voice. The project aims to bring
about positive and lasting changes in the women's lives by giving them
a greater say in decision making, by demanding rights and entitlements
and by influencing the delivery of government programmes related to
food security.
