We are a global not-for-profit organisation based in New York with 501(c)(3) status. Founded in 2017, our aim is to eliminate untouchability and all forms of discrimination based on work and descent, caste systems, inherited status and descent-based slavery across all parts of the world.
A Personal Journey Behind the founder of The Inclusivity Project: Paul Divakar Namala.
Having experienced and witnessed untouchability firsthand, Paul has spent decades working at the intersection of human rights and social justice, which led him to start The Inclusivity Project (TIP).
In this video, Paul shares the story behind that mission.
To dismantle discrimination based on caste, descent and inherited status by harnessing the collective power of affected communities: to eliminate the normalisation of exclusion, hold global institutions accountable for commitments made, and build movements powerful enough to make inherited discrimination a thing of the past.
To live in a world where all communities are treated with dignity and enjoy full protection of their human rights.
Meet our diverse team of human rights experts, advisors, board members and grassroots community organisers.

The Inclusivity Project holds ECOSOC consultative status with the United Nations, which allows us to bring grassroots voices to global decision-making spaces more visibly and actively. This accreditation gives us access to a wide range of UN engagement platforms, where we advocate for communities that are too often left out of the conversation.
We are also proud members of the Stakeholder Group of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent, part of the UN’s Major Groups and Other Stakeholders framework. Through this role, we contribute to the review and monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals, helping ensure that no one is left behind.
