Founded in 2017, TIP works to advance the rights and dignity of communities discriminated on work and descent (CDWD), the communities affected by caste and analogous systems around the world. These communities continue to face deep-rooted social and economic exclusion, despite global recognition of discrimination based on work and descent.
TIP brings visibility, voice and action to these issues at national, regional and international levels. We strengthen communities through capacity building, partnerships and evidence based research that informs policy and advocacy.
TIP is dedicated to protecting and promoting the rights and dignity of individuals affected by discrimination based on work and descent. This form of discrimination is prevalent in many parts of thevworld affecting communities in Africa (Osu, Haratin, Mbororo and others), Europe (Roma), Asia (Dalitss, Burakumin), and Latin America (Quilombola and Pelanque). Discrimination based on work and descent affects more than 270 million people worldwide impacting their equal enjoyment of human rights.
We envision pioneering a society where every individual, irrespective of gender or descent, considers themselves equal and free human beings, and enjoys a life free from all forms of discrimination. We envision a democratic and inclusive community where resources are shared justly, and people coexist in peace and harmony with one another and with nature.
Our mission is to lead the charge in integrating, uplifting, and including Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (CDWD) into mainstream society at local, regional, and global levels. We are committed to fostering gender parity, facilitating comprehensive development opportunities, ensuring impartial justice delivery, promoting sustainable environmental protection, and implementing equitable disaster mitigation measures. Grounded in the principles of self-respect and self-identity, equality and freedom, and justice and equity, our mission is to empower marginalized communities, foster inclusivity, and advance societal progress.
The Inclusivity Project (TIP) envisions a democratic, inclusive, and just society that is free from all forms of Discrimination based on Work and Descent (DWD). We strive for gender parity, equitable access to development, fair justice delivery, robust environment protection, and effective disaster mitigation measures. Our scope spans the planning, design, implementation, monitoring, review, and evaluation of sustainable development policies across national, regional, and international levels.
