Dalit Human Rights Defenders (DHRDNet) is built on the needs and demands of civil society organisations (CSO) and Dalit human rights defenders to ensure a comprehensive Rights-Based Approach in fighting caste-based discrimination.
About Us
Dalit Human Rights Defenders Network (DHRDNet) is a coalition of over 1000 Dalit human rights defenders from different states of India. However, DHRDNet mostly concentrates its work in five states – Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Karnataka.
We work towards:
1. Enhancing the skills and structural capacity of Dalit Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) through focused capacity building programme.
2. Then – using the skills obtained – developing legal assistance and monitoring programme
3. Using the new skills and outcomes of legal and monitoring programmes, expanding dialogue with the general public and cooperation with government authorities for improvements in enforcement procedures/responses to human rights violations against Dalits.
