2. Then – using the skills obtained – developing legal assistance and monitoring programme
3. Using the new skills and outcomes of legal and monitoring programmes, expanding dialogue with the general public and cooperation with government authorities for improvements in enforcement procedures/responses to human rights violations against Dalits.
