Posted by The Sambhaavnaa Institute of Public Policy and Politics is an alternative learning and living space for those concerned with social and political change. Nestled in the village of Kandwari, in the lap of the mighty Dhauladhar ranges of Himachal Pradesh, Sambhaavnaa’s primary objective has been to nurture value-based leadership by encouraging individuals, especially the youth, to discuss and develop a critical perspective on the ideals and ideas that define a just society.
The Institute was founded under the aegis of the Kumud Bhushan Education Society in 2004. Since 2011, it has emerged as a platform for individuals and organizations to reflect on and engage with the injustices that prevail in society today.
About the Opportunity
Sambhaavna Institute is conducting these Weekend Addas hoping these could also be a way or a platform for all of us to keep our conversations on relevant issues alive.
International Workers’ Day is celebrated every May 1st as Labour Day mainly by left groups with demonstrations, rallies, public meetings, etc. This May Day went by without any such programmes while workers across the country, mainly healthcare, sanitation, and other frontline workers have been tirelessly working and some succumbing to the pandemic as well.
In that context, this Saturday 8th May, the webinar will have Sujatha Surepally (Dalit Women Collective, Hyderbad) who will be delivering a lecture on Celebrating May Day: The Question of Dalit Women Worker from 4 to 6 PM.
More about the Discussion
More often than not the ‘worker’ in this celebration does not include women or Dalits. In this conversation, Sujatha will
- dwell upon the question of double discrimination and non-recognition faced by Dalit women workers within the paradigm of labor rights.
- Focussing on the inequality and vulnerability faced by domestic workers, sanitation workers, contractual workers, etc. she will highlight the role of these ‘invisible’ laborers.
