Over 70 years ago, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted as a promise to uphold dignity and justice for every individual, everywhere. But in India today, this promise feels distant for many. From targeted violence against minorities to the devastating human rights fallout of the NRC process in Assam, countless lives are being shattered.

This Human Rights Day, we spotlight the critical work of Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP)—a frontline organisation fighting for the rights of the marginalised. Through legal aid, advocacy, and community building, CJP is a beacon of hope in these challenging times. Let’s stand together for justice and human dignity.
