Struggles for Equality

Struggles for equality: Throughout the world- in every community, village, city and town- you will find that there are some people who are known and respected because of their fight for equality. These people may have stood up against an act of discrimination that they faced or which they witnessed. Or they may be well- respected because they treat all persons with dignity and are, therefore, trusted and called upon to resolve issues in the community.

Often, some of these persons become more widely recognized because they have the support or represent large number of people who have united to address a particular issue of inequality. In India, there are several struggles in which people have come together to fight for issues that they believe are important. The Tawa Matsy Sangh in Madhya Pradesh is another example of people coming together to flight for an issue. There are many such struggles such as those among beedi workers, fisherfolk, agricultural laborers, slum dwellers and each group is struggling for justice in its own way. There are also many attempts to form cooperatives or other collective ways by which people can have more control over resources.
