MASM
is interested in carrying out various activities under the overall umbrella of
Human and Legal Rights. They include giving a helping hand to the needy persons
and institutions in the field of rights, especially persons who are affected
either by violation of human rights or by denial of Human rights or stay away
from the justice system so far due to their vulnerable status. In this direction we are bringing out various
burning issues, case studies and survey reports, which we ourselves publish in
our monthly magazine namely, “Human Touch”. This magazine is the only magazine
in the country today which focuses on promotion and protection of human rights
thereby providing access to justice to the deprived and underprivileged
sections of the society. The magazine is in publication since March 2004.
Secondly,
MASM has already created a mailing list of thousands of local, national, and
international organizations, opinion makers, eminent personalities etc., and
had been corresponding with them.
Since
inception, the organization has also taken up many numbers of cases pertaining
to violation of rights in different for a like National Human Right Commission,
State Human Rights Commissions, National Women Commission, State Women Commission,
National Minorities Commission, State Minorities Commission, State Legal
Services Authorities, Crime Against Women Cell etc.
The
organization is aware of the field reality that it is often the weaker section
of the society which is deprived of the human rights as well as legal rights.
It is a known fact that these sections of the society could not get any
remedial action as they could not approach the available systems including the
legal ones for the redressal of their grievances.
Realizing
the plight of the poor who could not afford to spend for the legal remedies or
deprived of the same facilities due to various reasons, the government has
already introduced systems including services like ‘Free Legal Aid to the
Poor’. But as it is observed the takers of the facilities are few. This is
especially due to poor awareness level of the people to the available
resources.
