Caste discrimination – a tragic reality

Welcome to attend a lecture with JU alumna Andrea Stålberg who will talk about her experiences from working with caste discrimination in India. The lecture is on 15 March.

Andrea Stålberg graduated from the Global Studies Program 2022. She has a great interest in human rights, especially with a focus on women and children. She recently came back from an internship in India through the organization The Swallows India Bangladesh. She has worked closely with a right-based organization, focusing on defending the rights of Dalits, also referred to as “the untouchables”.

Her presentation will focus on Caste discrimination by sharing experiences from the tragic but true reality of it.
