More Information

  • Project Overview
  • Student Role

The current Jati Panchayat system of all-male government in Malaaria prevents women from being empowered members of society. Their rulings are not legal, but societal, and they dictate how people are treated in the village. Seva Mandir works to step in and fight for equality for women in the “JPs”. The purpose of the documentary is to inspire women in other villages to come together and work to create space and a political voice for women in village leadership and allow Seva Mandir to promote its work to a larger audience in order to increase support for their efforts.

Conduct interviews and edit film-making a documentary film explaining the Jati Panchayat government system in Malaaria
