The Dalit Women’s Rights and Financial Independence Manifesto, 2026, emphasizes the need for internal reservation to ensure Dalit women's representation in governance, particularly in local bodies and state legislative assemblies. Launched by P. Sivakami (former Indian Administrative Service officer) on behalf of the All India Forum for Women Intellect, the manifesto highlights the importance of empowering Dalit women economically. It proposes the establishment of a high-powered land recovery commission to reclaim 'panchami' land within 100 days of government formation, with a focus on redistributing this land to landless Dalit women. Additionally, the manifesto stresses that homeless women in Dalit settlements should be given priority in the allotment of individual apartments or concrete houses, aiming to improve their living conditions and economic status.
