Objective
To invoke the principles of social inclusion among the
development actors of civil society, government and the
corporate sector.
Deprivation and unequal access to resources, due to
discrimination, are the main causes of poverty. To achieve the
overall goal of poverty reduction, the development actors are
sensitized and oriented to the processes of social exclusion
along with the specific needs and problems of vulnerable groups
such as the dalits, women, persons with disabilities and the
minority community. The main purpose of our intervention is to
create a knowledge base to sensitize the stakeholders through
social mobilization, participatory research and advocacy.
Through this process the leadership capacity of the vulnerable
is enhanced at the grassroots by mobilizing them. Once they are
empowered they assume the responsibility of challenging the
discriminatory power structures and advocate for policy level
changes. Activities are centered on the following issues:
