In our adopted area, Dalit women face substantial barriers to accessing healthcare services. Factors such as limited time due to domestic and fieldwork responsibilities, financial constraints, and personal hesitations contribute to their neglect of health and hygiene. To address these challenges and improve health outcomes, the Dalit General Health Women Organization organized a comprehensive health and hygiene camp.
