"Defending Dignity: Dismantling Caste Systems in Nepal"

In this powerful episode, our Host, Lady Marieme, engages in a compelling conversation with fellow Young Global Leader Padrip Pariyar, the head of the #DalitLivesMatter Global Alliance.

This impactful movement aims to bring global awareness to the deeply troubling issue of caste-based discrimination while empowering Nepal's young activists, known as "Dignity Defenders" to fight against this injustice.

Padrip shares his personal experiences of growing up in the Dalit Community, bravely recounting his exclusion from public places and the discrimination he endured from even his closest friends and teachers solely because of the entrenched caste system in Nepal. His journey serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need to address these systemic inequalities.

Together, Padrip and Lady Marieme dive into a thought-provoking exploration of the caste system in Nepal, shedding light on its complex workings and the devastating impact it has on the lives of Dalits and other marginalized communities. They also highlight the universal nature of discrimination, acknowledging that many groups worldwide have suffered inhumane treatment due to their birthplace or social status.

The episode serves as a powerful call to Action, urging listeners to stand against all forms of inequality. Padrip stresses that meaningful change starts with awareness, education, and understanding. By learning about these pressing issues and empathizing with those affected, we can all support equal rights for everyone.
