DEPARTMENTS:
People's Initiatives, Public Interest Advocacy. Justice for the Deprived joins hand with other NGOs in mobilizing people's power against all forms of corruption. It will help the resurgence of the 'community-identity', which is so often absent in consumerist cultures and over-sized cities.
Legal Aid & Counseling Services are rendered in the form of, discussions, negotiations and counseling providing for alternate dispute resolution and out of court settlement, free legal aid public interest litigations. On an average one dozen cases are amicably settled in a month.
Legal Literacy Publication 'Environment of People' is an ideal to be realized through education and participation. The first step to attain this goal is through awareness camps and participatory programmes organized and conducted in the grass root level for different target groups, with special thrust on rural folk and labor forces. Besides, awareness sessions with special impetus to Human Rights and Environmental Legislations are organized in schools and colleges. Publication of journals, brochures, newsletters, wall-posters, audio-visual programmes etc. are used in promoting legal literacy in the society.
Human Rights Education Study camps, seminars, street theatre, public meetings etc are regularly and systematically organized at educational institutions, youth clubs and for rural population at various levels on relevant aspects of human rights. Verbal and visual media are effectively used for human rights education.
Health and Environment Interdependence of sound environmental management and sustainable development is vital with respect to the survival of the universe. Awareness raising programmes for the public, environmental advocacy in courts, extensive campaign in educational institutions on how to reduce wastage, encourage recycling and minimize pollution. As an integral aspect of health, we plan to focus our energies on counseling AIDS patients and disseminating information about AIDS.
Development and Human Rights the inextricable link between human rights and development has been constantly re-affirmed and today it is no longer possible to envisage national development without taking into account the human rights scenario. Hence, developmental planning and schemes of the government as well as private agencies would be examined /studied & the violation of human rights arising on a sequel would be exposed & people made aware of.
Empowerment of Women Exploited and battered, the Indian woman is a silent embodiment of desertion and discrimination on all fronts. Hence, we would focus on concretizing women to battle against atrocities and harassment perpetrated on them availability of legal resources, strengthen their inner resources; assert themselves make conscious choices in their lives. Awareness would be generated on issues relating to women's self-help activities, the social economic impact of development on women would be assessed and their experiences would be documented.
To defend the Constitutional rights of Dalits in general and Safai Karamcharies in particular and tribal organized by the present model of development emphasizing privatization profit making, the dalits and tribal have been passive victims of its brutal consequences. Compelled to give up their native lifestyle focusing on community ownership of resources and environment friendly life, they form the last rung of the developmental ladder. We plan to reach out to the marginalized deprived communities and join in their struggle for preserving their identity and culture and concretizing them as far as their constitutional rights are concerned.
To provide social justice and security to the minority communities. Our volunteers under the supervision of MS Vicky Hans General Secretary of the organization worked hard to save the interest of Mohammedans in Gujrat during recent riots. The trust is putting great emphasis on education of children of Muslim community to make them join the main stream of life. We generate the feelings of "India Together" among all the citizens of our beloved country irrespective of caste, creed, language, religion and physical boundaries.
To defend constitutional rights of children. Despite constitutional provisions for compulsory child education and prohibition of child labour, India has the largest number of working children and street children exposed to all forms of exploitation. We plan to organize children who are victims of ill-treatment and torture, create non-formal resources of education and document experiences of children who have been victims of torture, abduction and kidnapping.
Research and Documentation .To bridge the gap between social action and social research, we plan to undertake documentation of field level experiences, analyze data systematically and maintain rich reading, audio and visual material which will provide us with theoretical inputs for our field level action and confer upon the public an insight into social developments. This department would also focus on demystification of law and functioning of legal system by making available information.
