The discrimination and denial of health care is hardly recognised as a problem deserving attention. Being Dalit in India seriously impairs capabilities of persons to function in society. As one stands at the bottom of the social ladder, one’s risk of suffering premature death, poor health, and a lack of treatment and care is substantially higher than it is for the one with better socio economic position. (Vani etal; 2015, pp258). Dalit women are the vulnerable, the marginalised and the poor. With increasing urbanisation and migration, more and more dalit women are forced to live in abject poverty in the overcrowded slums. They are further rendered vulnerable to ill health, due to prevalent discriminatory practices found at the public health sector.
