Without Documentation, What is Your Identity?

In this episode of Phir Se, we look at the most important and the least spoken about step of reintegration: documentation and how it helps build your identity. For someone leaving prison, an Aadhaar card, a ration card, a PAN card or a birth certificate forms the foundation of their life outside. It’s necessary for everything, from banking, housing and job opportunities. We also look at how paperwork can be tedious and demoralising, while the system can make it difficult for them to find their footing in society.
