PVCHR-People's Vigilance Committee on Human Rights

Über uns

PVCHR – People’s vigilance committee on human rights-was started in 1996 as a membership based human rights movements in Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) as a program unit of Jan MItra Nyas, one of the most traditional and segregated regions in India. We work at a grassroots level to ensure basic rights for marginalized communities groups in Indian society, e.g. children, women, Dalits, Tribes and Muslims, and to create a human rights culture based on democratic values. PVCHR’s ideology is inspired by the father of the Dalit movement, Dr. B. D. Ambedkar, who struggled against Brahmanism and the caste hierarchical that is still prevailing in India.
