There is No Limit to Discrimination

Sapana Pariyar, Nepal

Though the caste system was supposed to be abolished years ago, this story cloth tells a different story. Memorializing 6 people who were murdered because of caste, this survivor is speaking out and representing her community.

The story cloth is made by a facilitator who is from the oppressed Dalit caste. While working with CTP, she became an elected official and a leader in her community fighting discrimination and exemplifying the concept of Victim to Survivor to Agent of Change.
