About Us

We need to teach our children the need to respect diversity and foster a culture of inclusiveness.

-- Henri Tiphagne, Executive Director, People’s Watch

Ganesa Perumal, a then 12-year-old student of Human Rights Education (HRE), in Bomminayakanpatti in Theni district in Tamil Nadu, an area notorious for female infanticide, interceded with conviction to save the life of a baby girl who otherwise would have been a mortality statistic.

Seventy-five children of migrant construction workers, in a village near Bengaluru in Karnataka, deprived of schooling, were enabled to avail their Right to Education, thanks to the intervention of a group of students of HRE, who took up their cause with the authorities concerned.
