Women of Pastapur
In impoverished villages surrounding Zaheerabad, India, a handful of illiterate Dalit women have taken communication tools into their hands—specifically, video and radio. Their goal: autonomy and self-reliance for their communities.
They experience three kinds of discrimination: They are women, poor and of the lowest caste. By using video and radio, they have gained respect in their communities and have contributed to development and cultural identity.
