Vission & Mission

Vision

We feel that despite of some gains with respect to legal protection and affirmative action, the economic rights and other issues like self-dignity are under attacked, violence and discrimination based on caste routinely occur. These conditions are exacerbated by globalization and political trends that promoted economic growth than equity, and this not only intensifies the impact of discrimination, violence and poverty but also reduces the sense of public and private accountability for the remedying these problems. The international laws and policies are accompanied by a series of monitoring and enforcement mechanisms that can be used along with local laws with effective monitoring to expose abuses and seek accountability at local, state, national and international level.
