 Sahayatra International Canada has donated CAD $1100 to support the "Dalit Lai Khai" (Where is it for Dalit?) hunger strike in Maitighar Mandla,Kathmandu, Nepal as well as the larger public meeting on Constitution Day of Nepal. Sahayatra International Canada has been providing financial support from Canada for the success of the "Dalit Ka lagi Dalit" (Dalit for Dalit) campaign in Nepal for a long time.

On Thursday, Dalit youths held a peaceful demonstration in Kathmandu, marching from Maitighar to New Baneshwar as part of the ‘Asoj 3, A Day for Dalits’ campaign, initiated by Khagendra Sunar. Sunar has been protesting at Maitighar Mandala for 44 days, standing in shackles with a placard that reads ‘Dalitlai Khai’ (Where is it for Dalits?). Around 3,000 Dalit youths joined him, wearing shackles and t-shirts with the same message, demanding rights and representation as promised by the Constitution.
