Situation
Continuing our targeted gender work with Batwa women in the Great Lakes region of Africa and Dalit women in India and Nepal, MRG seeks to support our partners as they confront discrimination against minority and indigenous women, both on account of their gender and as members of minority or indigenous communities. In particular, our work addresses issues of minority women's political and social exclusion and economic dependence.
Solution
Building upon initial advocacy and research, Batwa partners have now decided to work in conjunction with development stakeholders in order to focus on sustainable development and economic empowerment. Dalit partners have decided to focus on improving access to justice and have designed a strategy to increase Dalit women’s leadership within the legal framework.
