LIW/ ICN– India Committee of the Netherlands
India knows many problems. However, there are a lot of
organisations and people who try to solve these problems and who fight against injustice
and violation of the environment and human rights. The Dutch organisation Landelijke
India Werkgroep (LIW) works together with these organisations in India and uses
this cooperation as a basis for campaigns. LIW aims for a better life for the
poorest people in India. By means of support from the society, LIW tries to
pressure the international politics to improve living conditions in India. An example to improve these
conditions are 1) to make companies aware of their corporate responsibilities,
2) aid which really reaches the poor people in India, and 3) awareness of the
violation of human rights of Dalits, children and victims of activities of ‘extreme
religion’.
Objectives: Support deprived groups in their struggle against poverty, oppression, unequal treatment and degradation of their environment.
Activities: Awareness raising, campaigns, organization
