Event Description : 'Exclusion, Deprivation & Discrimination : Field realities from denotified tries' a talk by Swati Chakraborty.
The De-notified tribes of India are still excluded, highly deprived and suffer discrimination by the system and the society. Though Government of India denotified this communities way back in 1952, still discrimination and marginalization of these communities at the hand of society and administration continues. Children are not allowed to join school; discriminated during the mid day meal; men are picked up randomly by the police on false charges and beaten up; families are harassed by the police personnel for extorting money and girls are kept as bonded sexual labour. The ongoing study on the educational status of de-notified Tribes by Apne Aap Women Worldwide in the states of Delhi, Rajasthan , Odisha, Jharkhand , Bihar and West Bengal clearly shows that these communities are still treated as outsiders by society and discriminated and victimized by authorities. suspicion and traditional stereotyping (as criminal) is still a standard yardstick with which these communities are looked at. This is due to both conventional belief as well as ignorance about them among the authorities as well as the general public.
During the study we found that young girls are seen as a financial resource and often kept as security with brothel owners for a specified time period against a specified amount in case of familial dispute. Committee formed for dispute resolution is composed of high caste people. Families need to organize food and honorarium for such committee members. There are incidents when poor families have been forced to use their daughters more than once. Study team met the 13 yrs old girl whom the police team picked up from her house in the absence of any adult members on false charges of selling alcohol and beat her with belts, slapped her and kicked her. When her parents reached the police station she was released after the family paid bribe and now the same case is going on her mother. There are endless stories of extreme exploitation of young girls and women .One member of Kanjar communities told the study team: doh hi chiz to bikte hain. ek hain aurat r ek hain zameen. hum logo ke paas to zameen hain nehi—toh aurat hi bech te hain.Aur keya kar sakte hain. (Two things can be sold—one is women and other island. We do not have land so we sell our woman. What else we can do).
