Day 5: Friends@Prajnya Twitter Takeover: "GBV: Mainstreaming Issues of Marginalised Women" || @PriyankaSamy

    On November 29th, 2020, from 10 AM to 12 PM, we had Priyanka Samy (@PriyankaSamy), an intersectional feminist and anti-caste activist tweet about "GBV: Mainstreaming Issues of Marginalised Women":


In solidarity with Women Human Rights Defenders, especially from historically marginalised communities who continue to fight with resistance against all kinds of systemic oppression, discrimination & targeted violence. May our tribe grow #16Days  #16DaysOfActivism @PriyankaSamy (29/11/2020, 10:00 AM)


Violence does not occur in isolation. There are several intersecting factors such as ‘identities’ and ‘institutions’ that contribute to Gender-based violence. #16Days #16DaysofActivism2020 @PriyankaSamy (29/11/2020, 10:03 AM)


We, Dalit Feminists frame our struggles as the outcome of the unholy nexus of caste, class and gender; what we term as ‘Triple Alienation’ or ‘Thrice Discriminated’ #16Days #prajnya16days #nosgbv @PriyankaSamy @sitara1 @cynstepin @kirubamunusamy @caselchris1 @DalitWomenRise (29/11/2020, 10:09 AM) 


In the last 5 years, out of a total 2,05,146 registered crimes against Scheduled Castes under the PoA (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, a total of 41,867 cases (20.40%) were related to violence against SC women @DalitRights @sitara1 #16Days  #prajnya16days #nosgbv @PriyankaSamy (29/11/2020, 10:18 AM)


Despite growing incidences of violence against Dalit women, there is only a marginal allocation of Rs.46.20 Crore for their access to justice #DalitLivesMatters @DalitRights @dalitwomenrise #16Days  #prajnya16days #nosgbv (29/11/2020, 10:26 AM)


Read this report on 'Barriers to Accessing Justice for Dalit Women and Girls in Haryana' #16Days  #prajnya16days #nosgbv @SwabhimanSociety @MashaalManisha @rajnidhariwal1 @ManjulaHPradeep @equalitynow @PriyankaSamy (29/11/2020, 10:35 AM)



80% of sexual violence against Dalit women are committed by dominant caste men: Report #HaryanaDalitWomenSpeakOut #EndCasteBasedSexualViolence #16Days  #prajnya16days #nosgbv @MashaalManisha @rajnidhariwal1 @ManjulaHPradeep @equalitynow @PriyankaSamy (29/11/2020, 10:41 AM)


Rape and other forms of sexual violence against Dalit women are blatantly used as instruments by dominant castes to ‘dishonour’ and 'delegitimise' the Dalit community #DalitLivesMatter #16Days  #prajnya16days #nosgbv @PriyankaSamy @cynstepin @manishamashaal @DalitWomenRise (29/11/2020, 10:52 AM)


NCRB 2019 states, 10 Dalit women are raped every day. This is an undercount as data for the total number of reported cases of sexual assaults is not disaggregated by caste or religion, so the exact figures are unknown #16Days  #prajnya16days @PriyankaSamy @DalitWomenRise (29/11/2020, 11:01 AM)


@PriyankaSamy writes, "How many more of us need to be gang raped, stoned, tonsured, and paraded naked in public to appeal to the collective conscience of the dominant castes? @DalitWomenRise @sitara1 @cynstepin @idsnupdates @Anjii_95 @meenakandasamy @KotwalMeena #16Days  #prajnya16days #nosgbv" (29/11/2020, 11:06 AM)



@cynstepin writes, "Perhaps we should frame it this way: men target 10 dalit women for rape daily. Because it's laws, courts, and religious beliefs are just unable to see dalit women and girls as human beings with rights." (29/11/2020, 01:06 PM)


MWCD Report (2019-20) states that out of 728 One Stop Centres, only 595 are currently operational.  It is the State's responsibility to protect and promote our Human Rights and Dignity! #16Days  #prajnya16days #nosgbv @PriyankaSamy @DalitWomenRise @ifwedonotrise (29/11/2020, 11:16 AM)



Union Budget 2020-21 allocates a mere 0.8% (Rs.7986.34Cr.) for Dalit women and 0.34% (Rs. 3174.91Cr.) for Adivasi women from the total eligible Centrally Sponsored Schemes and Central Sector Schemes! Budget Justice?? #16Days #prajnya16days @PriyankaSamy @ncdhr @dalitwomenrise (29/11/2020, 11:22 AM)


Almost 46,000 crimes were registered against Dalits in 2019 but the conviction rates are only 28%. Sexual violence on Dalit women reveals a pattern of impunity enjoyed by dominant caste State & nonstate perpetrators. #16Days #prajnya16days @PriyankaSamy @ManjulaHPradeep @sitara1 (29/11/2020, 11:32 AM)



It is critical to prioritise gender-responsive planning, budgeting and implementation through the lens of #Intersectionality to unravel multiple points of systemic discrimination! #16Days #prajnya16days #nosgbv @PriyankaSamy @cynstepin @sitara1 @ManjulaHPradeep @caselchris1 (29/11/2020, 11:39 AM)


The annihilation of patriarchy cannot be fulfilled without the annihilation of caste, as famously stated by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. #16Days #prajnya16days #nosgbv @PriyankaSamy @cynstepin @sitara1 @ManjulaHPradeep @caselchris1 @Dalit_Swag @manishamashaal @idsnupdates @dalitdiva (29/11/2020, 11:48 AM)


"If we aren't intersectional, some of us, the most vulnerable are going to fall through the cracks", Kimberle Crenshaw #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #16Days #prajnya16days #nosgbv #16DaysofActivism2020 @PriyankaSamy @equalitynow @EqualityLabs @FRIDAfund @AWID @idsnupdates @UN_Women (29/11/2020, 11:54 AM)



@PriyankaSamy, "A big shout out to @prajnya, I had great fun taking-over your Twitter account! More power and glory to you!" Jai Bhim and Salaam #16DaysofActivism2020  #16Days #16DaysOfActivism #prajnya16days #nosgbv (29/11/2020, 12:00 PM)
