Social justice is a core value of the Indian Constitution. The Preamble promises justice – social, economic and political – to every citizen. We work to make this promise real for the poor, the marginalised and those facing discrimination.
Every person deserves equal respect and opportunity. We work against caste-based discrimination, untouchability and social exclusion, and support victims in using the protections available under law, including the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
Many eligible families do not receive the benefits meant for them. We help people understand and apply for government schemes for food security, housing, pensions, scholarships and health care.
We support elderly persons facing neglect or abuse, including under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, and help persons with disabilities claim their rights and entitlements.
We raise awareness about minimum wages, bonded labour and safe working conditions for workers in the unorganised sector.
