Millennium Fellowship Project: DAYAN
Project DAYAN is an initiative to help the survivors of witch-hunting in Jharkhand. This practice is a result of the toxic concoction of outdated beliefs in the supernatural and a desire to suppress women. When a woman is declared to be a witch she is faced with humiliation and public ridicule, in some extreme cases they may also be subjected to a total cutoff from the village ecosystem. With the strict laws now on the prevention of this "witch-hunting" practice the woman have been pushed out of their homes with no place to go and no way to earn leading to unemployment and being taken into rehabs or mental health institutions to live with the help of NGOs. The project aims to address this by emphasizing the need for these women to be equipped with the employment skills to live with their held high. We will also spread awareness against this evil practice and advocate for stronger enforcement of the laws preventing this practice. Through direct intervention and advocacy, we seek to address the immediate and long-term effects of witch-hunting, working towards positive solutions that uplift these survivors and pave way for a brighter and better future for these women.
