About me
Meena was the Chair of the Board of the International Dalit Solidarity Network until 2017. She has been the Executive Director of IDSN since then and provides overall leadership of IDSN’s strategy and management of finances, programmatic activities, fundraising and funder reporting and fulfilling all legal and financial duties.
IDSN works on a global level for the elimination of caste discrimination and similar forms of discrimination based on work and descent. We link grassroot priorities with international mechanisms and institutions in order to change policies and practices that lead to caste discrimination.
Through engagement with the UN, EU and other multilateral institutions, IDSN has had a significant impact on the internationalisation of caste discrimination as a critical human rights issue. The network produces crucial input in the form of documentation, strategic interventions and lobby action and also supports lobby activities on a national level.
