Abstract
The Dalit women's movement in India has emerged as a formidable force in the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality. This research article explores the evolution of Dalit women's leadership, examining how these women have challenged entrenched social hierarchies, confronted gender-based discrimination, and fought for their rights in a deeply stratified society. Through a historical and contemporary lens, the article highlights the significant contributions of Dalit women leaders in advocating for change, the challenges they face, and the strategies they employ to empower their communities. The study underscores the importance of intersectionality in understanding the unique position of Dalit women within the broader feminist and Dalit movements, advocating for a more inclusive approach to social justice in India.
