“Safety for Women Is Not a Slogan: Ground Reality in Dalit and Minority Communities”

“When the daughter of a poor or Dalit family steps outside, she doesn’t carry dreams — she carries fear.

This is not justice. This is violence in silence.”

— R. R. Pandayan Saheb

In every speech, on every poster, politicians claim: “Beti Bachao, Mahila Suraksha, Nari Shakti.”

But the reality in our slums, bastis, and villages is different — especially for Dalit, Bahujan, Adivasi, and minority women.

Every day, young girls walk long distances to schools without streetlights. Women face harassment on buses, at work sites, and in police stations. Crimes against Dalit women go unreported or are ignored by the system. In rural areas, there are no female police officers, no safety helplines, and no accountability.

And while leaders issue empty promises, R. R. Pandayan Saheb has chosen to fight back with action — not words.

🚨 The Real Picture: Why Women Feel Unsafe

  • In many Bahujan and Dalit bastis, there are no streetlights, CCTV, or active patrolling
  • Police stations often refuse to register cases, especially if the victim is from a marginalized background
  • Victim blaming and social shame stop girls from speaking out
  • Women workers, especially domestic help, ragpickers, factory workers — face abuse without protection
  • Dalit and Muslim women face double vulnerability: caste and gender

This is not a “law and order” issue — this is institutional injustice.

And R. R. Pandayan Saheb is exposing that truth.

🗣️ “For real safety, we need systems — not speeches.”

— R. R. Pandayan Saheb

🛡️ Saheb’s Demands for Women’s Safety and Justice:

R. R. Pandayan Saheb has laid out a bold women’s safety reform plan:

  1. Dalit Mahila Suraksha Helpline – with trained women operators and lawyers
  2. Appointment of women officers in all police stations in SC/ST-dominated regions
  3. Special Fast-Track Courts for atrocities and abuse cases against Dalit and minority women
  4. Streetlights, CCTV, and regular patrolling in high-risk bastis and transport zones
  5. Free legal aid desks run by female social workers in every ward
  6. Workplace safety guarantees for women in domestic work, factories, and shops
  7. Counseling and protection centers for survivors — not silence and shame

🧕🏽 Ground Action by R. R. Pandayan Saheb:

While the system drags its feet, Saheb has launched ground campaigns:

  • Organizing “Bahujan Beti Suraksha Marches” across cities and rural belts
  • Creating legal awareness camps in bastis to educate women about their rights
  • Pushing MLAs and corporators to install lights and safety infrastructure in their zones
  • Providing support to victims and survivors through Jai Bhim Sena Legal Cells
  • Empowering young women leaders to speak, lead, and resist

“Real change doesn’t come from slogans. It comes when the daughter of a labourer, a safai karmachari, or a street vendor walks home without fear. That is the India I will fight for.”

— R. R. Pandayan Saheb

🔲 Saheb’s Vision: Dignity, Not Dependency

Saheb believes:

🗯️ Safety is not a favor — it is a right.

🗯️ Dalit women should not need permission to live free. They need protection to live equal.

He calls on the government to stop symbolic gestures and start concrete action — especially where the most vulnerable women live and work.
