Claiming Dignity Profit, Non-Governmental, Human Rights Organisation, HRLN Recognizes Rights The Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) is a collective of lawyers and social activists dedicated to using the legal system to advance human rights in India and to ensure access to justice for victims of human rights violations. A not-for CLAIMING DIGNITY profit, non-governmental, human rights organisation, HRLN recognizes rights broadly to include civil and political as well as economic, social, and cultural DIGNITY CLAIMING USING LAW TO ADVANCE REPRODUCTIVE AND SEXUAL rights. Recognising law as an area of struggle, HRLN views the legal system as HEALTH RIGHTS a limited but crucial weapon for realising human rights. We believe that large scale struggles against human rights violations have to be waged by social and political movements and that the legal system can play a significant supportive role in these. Starting in 1989 as an ad hoc group of lawyers and social activists, HRLN has since evolved into a human rights organisation with dedicated activists, lawyers, and social workers in all Indian states. In addition to pro-bono legal services and public interest litigation, HRLN engages in legal advocacy both inside and outside of the courts including conducting legal workshops and investigations, publishing “Know Your Rights” material, and participating in campaigns. In collaboration with social movements and human rights and development organisations, HRLN works on behalf of the rights of women, prisoners, Dalits, workers, children, farmers, indigenous people, refugees, HIV positive people, people with disabilities, religious minorities, sexual minorities, and the homeless among others. 2019 3rd EDITION 2019 European Union CLAIMING DIGNITY USING LAW TO ADVANCE REPRODUCTIVE AND SEXUAL HEALTH RIGHTS 3RD EDITION 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS LAW NETWORK: OUR VISION • To protect fundamental human rights, increase access to basic resources for marginalised communities, and eliminate discrimination. • To create a justice delivery system that is accessible, accountable, transparent, efficient and affordable, and works for the underprivileged. • To raise the level of pro bono legal expertise for the poor to make the work uniformly competent as well as compassionate. • To equip through professional training a new generation of public interest lawyers and paralegals who are comfortable both in the world of law as well as in social movements, and who learn from the social movements to refine legal concepts and strategies. • To work towards an increased awareness of rights as universal and indivisible, and their realisation an immediate goal. ‘CLAIMING DIGNITY: Using Law To Advance Reproductive And Sexual Health Rights’ June 2019 © Socio Legal Information Centre ISBN: 978-81-934737-1-9 Written and Compiled by: Mahima N.

  • Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview
    Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview Tamil Nadu is bordered by Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Sri Lanka, which has a significant Tamil minority, lies off the southeast coast. Tamil Nadu, with its traceable history of continuous human habitation since pre-historic times has cultural traditions amongst the oldest in the world. Colonised by the East India Company, Tamil Nadu was eventually incorporated into the Madras Presidency. After the independence of India, the state of Tamil Nadu was created in 1969 based on linguistic boundaries. The politics of Tamil Nadu has been dominated by DMK and AIADMK, which are the products of the Dravidian movement that demanded concessions for the 'Dravidian' population of Tamil Nadu. Lying on a low plain along the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, Tamil Nadu is bounded by the Eastern Ghats in the north and Nilgiri, Anai Malai hills and Palakkad (Palghat Gap) on the west. The state has large fertile areas along the Coromandel coast, the Palk strait, and the Gulf of Mannar. The fertile plains of Tamil Nadu are fed by rivers such as Kaveri, Palar and Vaigai and by the northeast monsoon. Traditionally an agricultural state, Tamil Nadu is a leading producer of agricultural products. Tribal Population As per 2001 census, out of the total state population of 62,405,679, the population of Scheduled Castes is 11,857,504 and that of Scheduled Tribes is 651,321. This constitutes 19% and 1.04% of the total population respectively.1 Further, the literacy level of the Adi Dravidar is only 63.19% and that of Tribal is 41.53%.

CEU eTD Collection Indigenist mobilization: ‘Identity’ versus ‘class’ after the Kerala model of development? i Abstract ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the recent rise of "adivasi" (indigenous/tribal) identity politics in the South Indian state of Kerala. It discusses the complex historical baggage and the political risks attached to the notion of "indigeneity" in Kerala and poses the question why despite its draw- backs, a notion of indigenous belonging came to replace the discourse of class as the primary framework through which adivasi workers now struggle for their rights. The thesis answers this question through an analysis of two inter-linked processes: firstly, the cyclical social movement dynamics of increasing disillusionment with - and distantiation from - the class-based platforms that led earlier struggles for emancipation but could not, once in government, structurally alter existing relations of power.
