Gulabi Gang
|
| Bundelkhand region, in the hinterlands of Uttar Pradesh, is one of the poorest districts in India. In this deeply patriarchal society, domestic and sexual violence against women is endemic. Girls who escape being killed at birth are married off at puberty and often murdered with impunity. The Gulabi (pink) Gang was founded by Sampat Pal to start a movement for change. Named for the pink saris worn by the women members, the organization helps raise women’s consciousness and empowers them to become self-sufficient. |
