A Voice For the Voiceless

The Advocacy Project helps marginalized communities to tell their story, claim their rights and produce social change. We recruit graduate students to volunteer as Peace Fellows with partners.

The Impact of Service



"I look at myself as having the potential to be as strong and caring as the amazing women I met in Kenya."

Kate Cummings (Tufts University) volunteered in 2009 as a Peace Fellow for Vital Voices in Africa.

Milan Pariyar is one of the most outwardly strong and inwardly driven journalists contributing to the e-Bulletin. He hails from the Doti district of far-western Nepal – long considered to be ground zero for caste-discrimination and Dalit rights in the country.

Due to the retribution media awareness can bring on Dalits victimized by the upper-castes, Pariyar, must also pay close attention to each story to ensure safety for the victims. He personifies his own stated principle that there should be no difference between saying and doing by remaining active in the Dalit movement.

In addition to his roles of journalist, advocate and human rights monitor, he is the editor of his own magazine called Jana Sahakerya, which means people working together.
