As a direct consequence of the advocacy efforts of the Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha Sydney (SGRS) and the Ambedkar International Mission (AIM), the United Nations Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance issued a formal communication to the Australian Government.
The communication specifically urged the Australian Human Rights Commission and the government to acknowledge caste discrimination as a component of the National Anti-Racism Framework (NARF) and to incorporate it into the Australian Federal Anti-Discrimination Law.
This was possible due to weeks of advocacy and lobbying efforts at the United Nations on behalf of SGRS and AIM. The UN Special Rapporteur on Racism leveraged their mandate from the UN Human Rights Council — bolstered by extensive lobbying — to garner national support for the anti-caste advocacy and the development of the NARF.
