Dalit Solidarity Network UK campaigns against the atrocities, humiliation and poverty that over 300 million Dalits or "untouchables" suffer due to a caste system which is more than 3000 years old.

Millions worldwide continue to suffer from practices linked to untouchability and caste. This is often a hidden apartheid of segregation, modern-day slavery, and other extreme forms of discrimination, exploitation, and violence.

DSN-UK is part of an international network campaigning for recognition of the problem of caste discrimination and action for its eradication. DSN lobbies, campaigns and educates politicians, development agencies, the media, companies and the public about caste and how they can take action to end this human rights scandal.

DSN-UK started in 1998 as a network of individuals, groups, movements and agencies working in solidarity with Dalit communities in India . Over the years it has expanded its vision to encompass people in all countries who are discriminated against on the basis of their caste or their work and descent.
