<p style="text-align:justify"><em>New Delhi, Lucknow, Hathras: </em>Meera Singh, 35, who belongs to an upper-caste Thakur family, was surprised by all the talk of sexual violence in Boolgarhi, her village in Hathras district of western Uttar Pradesh (UP). The alleged gang-rape of a 19-year-old dalit woman by four Thakur men was an abberation, she maintained.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;Our village has always been safe, this is the first time that something like this has happened,&rdquo; said Singh, tending to the cattle in the fields owned by her husband&rsquo;s family.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Across the village, in the pocket where the dalits live, women said sexual atrocities were common--of the nearly 250 homes here, only four belong to dalits, they say. &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t let our daughters walk around alone,&rdquo; said a dalit woman. &ldquo;Normally, the Thakurs don&#39;t even touch us,&rdquo; she said, referring to the age-old practice of untouchability, &ldquo;But to rape, they take our daughters.&rdquo;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The caste skew that drives sexual violence against dalit women is not unique to Boolgarhi: It is visible across UP, we found in detailed interviews with rape survivors and dalit activists across five western, central and eastern districts of the state--Hathras, Shravasti, Unnao, Jaunpur and Lucknow. We also found that statewide public programmes to ensure the safety and rights of women--projects, shelters, helplines--have become defunct over the last few years, neglected, drained of funds or simply shut down.</p>

Dalit Women Face Brunt of Caste Battles, State Neglect -Sadhika Tiwari and Shrinkhala Pandey

New Delhi, Lucknow, Hathras: Meera Singh, 35, who belongs to an upper-caste Thakur family, was surprised by all the talk of sexual violence in Boolgarhi, her village in Hathras district of western Uttar Pradesh (UP). The alleged gang-rape of a 19-year-old dalit woman by four Thakur men was an abberation, she maintained.
“Our village has always been safe, this is the first time that something like this has happened,” said Singh, tending to the cattle in the fields owned by her husband’s family.
Across the village, in the pocket where the dalits live, women said sexual atrocities were common--of the nearly 250 homes here, only four belong to dalits, they say. “We don’t let our daughters walk around alone,” said a dalit woman. “Normally, the Thakurs don't even touch us,” she said, referring to the age-old practice of untouchability, “But to rape, they take our daughters.”
The caste skew that drives sexual violence against dalit women is not unique to Boolgarhi: It is visible across UP, we found in detailed interviews with rape survivors and dalit activists across five western, central and eastern districts of the state--Hathras, Shravasti, Unnao, Jaunpur and Lucknow. We also found that statewide public programmes to ensure the safety and rights of women--projects, shelters, helplines--have become defunct over the last few years, neglected, drained of funds or simply shut down.
