CDWD at UN

Representing the CDWD at the United Nations is vital for ensuring their voices are heard globally. It promotes inclusivity, influences international policy, highlights injustices, fosters global solidarity, and drives equitable development. This representation is crucial for advocating basic human rights, securing funding, and empowering CDWD to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) and access to human rights.

SDGs

Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (CDWD) encounter substantial barriers that impede their full participation in society and limit their access to economic, social, and political opportunities. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a global framework to tackle these obstacles and promote inclusive development.

Understanding Discrimination Based on Work & Descent

Discrimination based on work and descent is any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on inherited status such as caste, including present or ancestral occupation, family, community or social origin, name, birth place, place of residence, dialect and accent that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment, or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, or any other field of public life. This type of discrimination is typically associated with the notion of purity and pollution and practices of untouchability and is deeply rooted in societies and cultures where this discrimination is practiced.
