About Journey Together
Sahayatra is a not-for-profit, non-political social organization founded in 2021 by a group of social justice seekers and human rights activists working in Canada to promote and establish human rights and social justice globally, with a special focus on a case example, Nepal, where nearly 4 million people of the so-called Dalit community comprise 13.6% of the country’s population. Dalits have been forced to live an undignified life for many centuries because of their so-called untouchable and lower caste status under the traditional caste system in Nepal. Over 250 million people worldwide still face appalling and dehumanizing discrimination based on caste and a similar system of inherited status. The vast majority of people affected by caste discrimination are living in South Asia, and Nepal has the worst form of caste-based.
