UN SDG 2030 – Leaving No-one Behind
We at ADVOCACY FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE (ASJ) are actively involved in appointing of grassroots level senior professionals for the Senior Citizens Council of Professionals for Justice (SCCPJ) to achieve the most important aspect of international development in regard to Social Justice.
The senior citizen’s council will not be composed of the moneyed prominent social elite groups with political affiliation but by school and college teachers, technical professionals, doctors, lawyers and grandparents working in the smaller villages and district towns who have experience but remain unseen and unheard – simply ignored as people who have outlived their usefulness.
Responsibilities of our Elected Office Bearers and Coordinators
- Regular bi-monthly Meeting to pinpoint priority problems in the area.
- To follow-up and report on every case of abuse of authority and to bring them to the courts for justice.
- To report on child abuse and violence faced by children and the involvement of people with poor background knowledge of school education and Human Psychology.
- To comprehend the challenges and appointing a ‘People’s Council of Teaching Professionals’ as a duly appointed community authority to take action in collaboration and equal status with the police and government correctional homes.
- Government Census is without a purpose if it does not record people living alone; ASJ prioritises people living alone and victims of accident due to impaired movements to ensure that justice does not elude them due to lowered earning sources and other areas of daily living necessitating extra support.
- More than 150,000 people are injured in road accidents in India every one of which is recorded in a court of law like a robot. However, did the victims and their families receive the due compensations and correctional support or, was it all cornered by middlemen and dalals.
- What happened to women with disability? Where did they disappear?
- Status of senior citizens – and the number of women senior citizens being thrashed.
- Domestic violence and violence between intimate live-in partners.
As is evident, the list of growing injustice is now beyond correction – so let us all collaborate, hold hands and start from wherever we are in the spirit of a People’s Movement – Advocacy for Social Justice – Senior Citizens Council of Professionals for Justice (SCCPJ), a genuine people’s Trust Fund duly managed, sanctioned and audited by the people themselves at a people’s Panchayat.
Following on the heels of the Senior Citizens Council of Professionals for Justice (SCCPJ) also designated the General body of ASJ State Presidents, ASJ Convenors and ASJ Research and Documentation Coordinators from the District level courts moving upward to the ASJ State and National level committees all duly elected by the General Body and the Executive Committee to clear instances of victims of official apathy and lack of concern shamelessly depriving a vast majority of their Rights and Entitlements.
The list of these excluded segment seem to be growing along with brutalisation, abuse and exclusion of the vulnerable by the hour at an alarming rate reflecting a poor level of respect for the law enforcement agencies at the ground level.
