Capacity Building
Vision We envision a society in South Asia where Dalit Communities, especially women, live with dignity, have equal opportunity and social and economic justice. Mission Our mission is to eradicate caste based discrimination and atrocities. It is to ensure equality and equal rights for all. We specially focus on the doubly marginalized dalit women, and the manual scavengers who occupy the lowest rung of the caste hierarchy. To accomplish our mission, we support groups and individuals engaged in the struggle for social change and promote and encourage dalit leaders, working to create a public understanding of equality, rights and dignity. We provide small grants to individuals and organizations working on the issues of advocacy, education, self- governance and the enhancement of dalit women leadership. Objectives * Create public understanding on the situation of Dalits and their right to equality. * Promote exemplary Dalit leadership to address the issue of social justice * Promote Dalit art and culture for development and empowerment of dalits. * Promote Dalit women leadership. * Eradicate untouchability, social discrimination and caste-based atrocities, with special focus on Dalit women. * Provide support for livelihood - minimum wages, education, health, housing and insurance for labourers in the unorganized sector. * Rights over land, water bodies, villages, forests and other means of production. * Create public understanding and favourable public opinion
