Meet 24-year-old Divya Ahirwar, at the forefront of the Ken–Betwa movement in Madhya Pradesh. In the Dhodhan region of Chhatarpur district, dozens of villages are set to be affected by a dam being built under the Ken–Betwa River Linking Project. For years, residents have been protesting, demanding fair compensation and justice for those facing displacement. Among the movement's most active voices is Divya Ahirwar. Divya says the forests are the primary source of livelihood for many Adivasi families in the region. She has witnessed women in her village stand up for their rights and resist displacement, often taking a leading role in the struggle to protect their homes and communities. According to her, these women are not only confronting the uncertainty of displacement but also dealing with challenges such as domestic violence. Despite these hardships, they continue to support their families through resources gathered from the forest. Divya's connection to this struggle is deeply personal. After losing her father in childhood, she faced difficult circumstances herself. She believes these experiences helped her understand the challenges faced by Adivasi women and inspired her to stand alongside them, amplifying their voices in the fight for their rights.
