Access to Justice(Nejk) Project
ACCESS TO JUSTICE(NEJK) PROJECT CONFERENCE ON RIGHTS OF SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN NORTH EASTERN STATES: CHALLENGES IN ACCESSING JUSTICE MECHANISM & ROLE OF STAKEHOLDERS VENUE:- HOTEL BRAHMAPUTRA ASHOK, GUWAHATI 29TH JULY 2016 ORGANISED BY: DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, MINISTRY OF LAW AND JUSTICE, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA INTRODUCTION Access to justice is a fundamental concept in the application of human rights. Despite its central status in achieving modernisation, development and equality, there are several sections of the society who are unable to seek remedies from the justice system. Denial of justice occurs when justice systems is deemed inaccessible. While the courts play a critical role in dispensing justice, it is necessary to emphasize that access to justice is about more than improving access to courts, it is also about raising the awareness and creating the knowledge to claim rights and entitlements and the ability to address and seek remedies when violations of rights occur. With the aim of achieving these goals, the Department of Justice, GoI initiated the Access to Justice(NEJK) Project. RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE According to National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) Report, Assam has been indicated among top five states with highest number of human trafficking cases. In 2014, NCRB reports that Assam has recorded 407 cases of Human Trafficking. As Assam is the door to other North Eastern States, there is need to ponder over and critically analyze the Justice Mechanism available to survivors and role of SLSA, Panel lawyers and Civil Society Organizations in accessing justice. Therefore this conference was planned. The objective was to provide a common platform to the SLSA and other stakeholders to share stories of human trafficking survivors and to strategize the way forward for prevention of Human Trafficking and Rehabilitation of the trafficked victims.
