ABSTRACT
It focuses on the challenges faced by Dalit and minority women in India, who are often subjected to discrimination and marginalization due to their caste, religion, and gender. The article highlights the importance of the government’s role in promoting social, economic, and political inclusion for these women and explores the current state of government policies and initiatives aimed at promoting equality. The article discusses the intersectionality of discrimination, gender-based violence, access to justice, empowerment and participation, and international human rights obligations. While some improvements have been made, significant disparities still exist, and the government needs to take proactive steps to address these challenges. The article concludes by offering recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of existing policies and initiatives and promoting greater inclusion and equality for all citizens.
