Women from WEvolution
EVERY day I am inspired by people I get to spend time with who demonstrate incredible resilience in the face of appalling injustice and poverty. People who are sometimes right at the edge between death and life. I have recently returned from ten days in India, learning from the work that is happening there. The sights, sounds and smells are fresh in my memory.
It would be easy to tell hardship stories for there is shocking, appalling, grinding and diminishing poverty. The inhuman nature of the caste system – a hidden apartheid – will haunt me until there is justice for the Dalit community. And yet when I think of the people I met, determination and dignity are the words that spring to mind.
