Justice
begins where
inequality ends.
The very existence of the prison forecloses the kinds of discussions that we need in order to imagine the possibility of eradicating these behavior.
Our Vision
To create a society that values community care over incarceration and where caste's stronghold over the justice system is dismantled by centring the voices of Bahujan communites.
The CPA Project is a litigation, research and capacity-building intervention committed to ending the disproportionate targeting of marginalised communities by the criminal justice system.
What do we do?
We use data-driven research and human rights lawyering to help vulnerable & historically marginalised communities advocate for decriminalisation and decarceration.
