Fathima Burnad is fighting to change a social structure that's existed for 3000 years. In India, where the caste system has created apartheid-like discrimination, child labour is common and women have few rights. Worst off are the 160 million people in the landless, lowest caste - the Dalits or "untouchables" - who live without access to basic necessities and are often targets of violence. Fathima's aim is to empower these people - her people - by encouraging them to take action through grass-roots organisations and rallying the support of international communities behind her cause.
