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



"Speaking with locals and living in a country is the best way to learn about the real lives of citizens, not just the stories in the mainstream media. I will be more critical of what I read as a result of this experience. I also feel even more grateful for my education, and I feel a stronger responsibility to assist others who do not have resources or access to opportunities in their communities."

Maria Skouras (New York University) volunteered in 2011 as a Peace Fellow for eHomemakers in Malaysia.

Monitoring Caste Discrimination

AP has been working for years with the Jagaran Media Center, an organization working to fight caste discrimination in Nepal.  These pages provide a background on caste discrimination in the country as well as biographies of Dalit (lower-caste) journalists that work with JMC and outputs from the organization that are not available on its website.
