Core offering

SAHAYATRA is a registered nonprofit charity that advocates for the abolition of caste-based discrimination and the protection of Dalit human rights globally. It delivers its mission through media programs (television discourse, online news portal, Nepali bulletin), the International Social Justice Fund, handicraft market promotion for Dalit artisans, community engagement with the Nepali diaspora in Canada, and international conferences bringing together policymakers, activists, and scholars.

Product overview

SAHAYATRA is a nonprofit social justice organization founded in 2021 that operates as a single integrated program portfolio rather than a technology platform. Its core offerings include the Sahayatra Television Discourse for media advocacy, an International Social Justice Fund for community upliftment, Nepalese Handicrafts Market Promotion for economic empowerment of Dalit artisans, an Online News Portal for anti-discrimination awareness, and the annual Global Conference for a Caste-Free World event. The organization focuses on mainstreaming Nepali diaspora in Canadian society while building international solidarity to end caste discrimination in Nepal, South Asia, and globally.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• International Dalit Solidarity Network (IDSN): An international advocacy network focused exclusively on caste-based discrimination, with member organizations across Asia, Africa, and Europe. Directly comparable to Sahayatra in mission, target population (Dalits), and multilateral advocacy approach.
• National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR): One of India's largest Dalit rights coalitions, conducting advocacy, research, and grassroots organizing against caste-based discrimination. Closely comparable in beneficiary population and advocacy methods to Sahayatra.
• Dalit NGO Federation (DNF): A Nepal-based coalition of Dalit-led NGOs working on caste rights in Nepal — Sahayatra's primary operating geography. Highly comparable in target population and policy advocacy at the national level.
• Anti-Caste Discrimination Alliance (ACDA): A UK-based coalition of Dalit-led organizations and allies working to end caste discrimination globally, including in the diaspora. Directly comparable mission and international advocacy footprint to Sahayatra.

Emerging players

• Equality Labs: A US-based Dalit civil rights organization using research, technology, and community organizing to address caste discrimination. Comparable in niche focus on caste-affected diaspora communities, though smaller and more US-centric than Sahayatra.

Broad incumbents

• Minority Rights Group International: An international human rights organization focused on minority and indigenous rights globally, including communities affected by descent-based discrimination. Overlaps with Sahayatra on caste-affected minorities in South Asia.
• Human Rights Watch: A major international human rights organization that has published extensive reporting on caste discrimination in South Asia. Overlaps with Sahayatra on caste advocacy but operates at a much broader scale and scope.
• Amnesty International: A global human rights organization whose portfolio includes periodic work on caste-based discrimination in India, Nepal, and other South Asian contexts. Comparable in advocacy methods (reports, campaigns, lobbying) but operates across many human rights issues.

Others

• Forum for Human Rights and Public Health (FHRePH) / ADWAN: Partner and adjacent organizations in Nepal working on Dalit women's empowerment and rights — notably ADWAN, which received USAID support and is referenced in Sahayatra's partnership data as a like-minded ally in Nepal.

Regional players

• Dalit Solidarity Network UK: A UK-based Dalit advocacy organization working with British institutions and South Asian diaspora communities to address caste discrimination. Comparable in diaspora-led advocacy focus, but UK-centric in geographic reach.
