SWSF (Sakkiyar Women Society Federation)

SWSF (Sakkiyar Women Society Federation) We are an Arunthathiyar (Dalit) women headed federation founded in 2008. This is a community based organisation federated at District level.

We are working with Arunthathiyar children and women. This federation is registered under Society Act 1975. Our target group are the Arunthathiyar women.The majority of Arunthathiyars live in the western districts of Tamil Nadu as Erode or Salem. The Arunthathiyar are a big minority of about 6,5 Million people living in Tamil Nadu (60 Million people at all). They can be called Dalits among Dalits

because of their poor socio-economic background. They are often compelled to do very menial and undignified jobs such as manual scavenging or waste disposal. Though there are many rights in the Indian constitution to ensure human, social, political and economical rights even to the Arunthathiyars; the mind of many people did not change. So they are still one of the most marginalized communities in India and they still have to face many atrocities and caste based discrimination. Therefore, we ensure Human Rights and human dignity for women and children from the Arunthathiyar - Community. We guarantee sustainable rural economic development, higher education for girls and young women, health and mental health trough our program and social, economic and political rights for Arunthathiyar women and girls. Furthermore, we eradicate caste based occupation as manual scavenging or waste disposal. And we also fight against caste based discrimination.
