“Dalit Freedom: One By One” now online
Dalit Freedom Network UK’s powerful video, “Dalit Freedom: One By One”, produced to mark the launch of their anti-trafficking campaign, can now be viewed online (click here to view).
The video highlights the scope and scale of the trafficking of India’s Dalits, which reaches into the millions, and then poses the question, “What can you do? What can one person do?”. The solution is best summed up by Dr Joseph D’souza, International President of Dalit Freedom Network: “We can take people out of their misery ... one person at a time, one child at a time, one village at a time, one community at a time”.
Spread the message: share the video
The video was shown at the Parliamentary launch of the campaign last week, and at a launch event in the Midlands, before being posted on YouTube. DFN UK is encouraging their supporters to share the video with friends and contacts through Facebook, Twitter, email etc to increase awareness of Dalit trafficking as a human rights issue that needs addressing.
Location footage in India was filmed by DFN UK’s Indian colleagues and sent over for editing and production work by Rising Brook Media, a new film company based in the Midlands, who have got behind the anti-trafficking campaign. This is the first of four films highlighting the campaign to end the trafficking of Dalits in India. Anjali Guptara, who narrated the film ‘India’s Forgotten Women’, provided the voiceover for this powerful call to make a difference for India’s poorest and most oppressed people groups, who are so vulnerable to trafficking.
