Dalit Freedom Network UK
RED International is partnering with a UK Human rights charity called Dalit Freedom Network UK.
Dalit Freedom Network UK is a human rights charity that has responded to a ‘cry for help’ from the leaders of the Dalit population of India. They represent a vast network of justice-minded, modern-day abolitionists committed to India’s ‘untouchables’ by partnering with the Dalit people in India. DFN UK works with individuals, groups and organisations in the UK and internationally to knit together their combined resources on behalf of the individuals and organisations within India that are working hand-in-hand with the Dalits for their emancipation.
For information on Dalit Human Rights and Anti-trafficking issues please see Dalit Freedom Network UK .
