Dignity is intrinsic to the human being. However, it is a missing element in the empowerment discourse, and if dignity is not conceptualised, theorising empowerment will remain incomplete. In this context, the study aims to understand the violation of dignity among Dalit adolescent girls in Nepal. From February 2020 to February 2021, semi-structured interviews with 30 participants were conducted. The analysis was based on grounded theory methodology. The results confirm that caste- and gender-based discrimination, poverty, and having their opinions disregarded combine to violate the dignity of Dalit adolescent girls. These findings will assist development agencies and policymakers in planning and implementing appropriate interventions for adolescent girls to live their lives with dignity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
