Equality Labs a human rights organization that focuses on centering the leadership of South Asian minority groups in the ongoing redefinition of South Asian identity across the diaspora—with specific emphasis on Dalits (formerly known as the Untouchable caste in India), Adivasi (indigenous), Muslim, Buddhist and Christian South Asian women. The project includes: a five-day arts organizing camp to help create a series of art campaigns targeting the issues of caste apartheid and religious fundamentalism in the community; a monthly healing circle for women; development of a long-term strategy to take on Hindu fundamentalist networks; and production of powerful art (video, posters, guerilla skits, signage) that can be used for ongoing education and organizing campaigns.
