Today in 1942, at All India Depressed Classes Women’s Conference, Dr. #Ambedkar gave the historic call: “#Educate #Agitate #Organise.” A call for Dalit feminism & anti-caste movement to centre marginalised voices of social justice, today let us continue to live by this call.

Last week, MFF organised a session on the expression of emotions, attended by 20 adolescent girls under our KBC programme with Each One Feed One in Shram Vihar, Delhi. Often girls are expected to speak less, express less, stay silent and not act too "emotionally".
