Tuesday, Mar. 24, 6:30 p.m. Refreshments. 7 p.m., Film and Discussion
Cambridge Main Library Auditorium, 449 Broadway
Cambridge Women’s Heritage Project presents this special evening which will include a screening of the micro-documentary, Untouchable, about human rights activist Dr. Bishnu Maya Pariyar’s journey back to the village where she was born and raised as one of Nepal’s Dalits, the so called untouchable people. The film depicts the tremendous obstacles of gender and caste discrimination, poverty and exclusion that Dr. Pariyar overcame. Now a prolific scholar, social entrepreneur and internationally respected advocate, Dr. Pariyar will discuss the film and the efforts of her non-profit EDWON (Empower Dalit Women of Nepal) which strives to give women the tools to become agents of change through social and economic empowerment.
