UN Mechanisms and Caste – Discrimination Based on Work and Descent
This report provides systemic understanding of hidden apartheid still under represented and widely practiced. The comprehensive study was prepared by Asia Dalit Rights Forum (ADRF) in association with Regions Refocus 2015 and Asia Parliamentarians Forum on Dalit Concerns (APFDC).
As a background document for the series of events “Annihilate Caste and Structural Inequalities in
Implementing the 2030 Agenda,” co-convened by Asia Dalit Rights Forum, Regions Refocus, and
the Asian Parliamentarians' Forum on Dalit Concerns, this matrix compares international human
rights language to existing laws and policies across South Asia.
