Conference Objective:

- To assess the current initiatives on addressing the intersections of gender and caste in terms of meeting the needs and rights of Dalit women.
- To examine best practices with respect to inclusion matters and the private sector.
- To understand the emerging public policy climate on caste based discrimination, with specific focus on intersecting caste and gender discrimination.
The conference sessions will highlight equity and inclusion strategies and achievements in a number of key areas covering policies and legal frameworks, affirmative action and diversity measures, addressing multiple discrimination against Dalit women, equal economic opportunities and employment, promoting inclusion via education, media and ICT, and localising the SDGs agenda to leave no one behind.
