Serving as an international advocate for Dalit rights is the heartbeat of the Dalit Freedom Network. The Dalit Freedom Network represents Dalits internationally in Washington, DC, London, at the United Nations, and at major conferences on human rights and religious liberty. DFN seeks to raise awareness and find relief funding for Dalits across India.
The Indian constitution guarantees equality, justice, and human dignity for all people and bans discrimination based on one’s caste. However, slavery and oppression based on the philosophy of the Hindu caste system is very much alive in India, especially in rural areas.
Ultimately, DFN seeks to bring an end to caste-based discrimination and the resulting oppression the Dalit community experiences. If you would like to participate in this process, or help provide funds for those that do, please indicate your interest by email to:
