Media coverage of our campaigns, rescues, and community victories — stories the world needs to hear.
From frontpage rescues to award-winning community programmes, SLS UJAS's work in Rajasthan has been covered by leading national and regional media. Each story represents a real victory — a family freed, a right won, a child returned to school.
In a landmark legal advocacy drive, UJAS successfully facilitated the documentation and citizenship application process for 47 Pakistani Hindu refugee families residing in Jodhpur. This effort addresses long-standing challenges in accessing basic rights and government services, marking a significant step toward integration and security for migrant households.
Hundreds of women from across Barmer district took to the streets in a powerful demonstration organised by UJAS, demanding collective land titles for women-headed households. The march, timed to coincide with the International Day of Rural Women, drew participation from 34 villages and culminated in a memorandum submitted to the district collector.
Acting on tip-offs from community informants, UJAS field workers and Child Welfare Committee members conducted a coordinated raid on three construction sites near Pali, rescuing 12 children aged between 8 and 14. All children have been enrolled in bridge schools and their families are receiving livelihood support through the organisation's rehabilitation program.
The UJAS Women's Crafts Centre in Jodhpur has been recognised with the National Award for Excellence in Women Empowerment by the Ministry of Women and Child Development. The centre, which trains Pakistani women migrants in traditional Rajasthani crafts including bandhani, leheriya, and block printing (funded by District Industrial Center, Rajasthan State Government), currently supports over 120 artisans earning sustainable incomes.
A coalition of civil society organisations led by UJAS organised a state-wide climate march demanding urgent government action on drought compensation, water rights, and ecological restoration. Marchers highlighted the disproportionate burden borne by marginalised farming communities — particularly Dalit and Adivasi households — in the face of intensifying climate volatility across Rajasthan.
A unique field-immersion internship programme run by UJAS is producing a new cohort of socially committed young professionals. Students from across India — law, social work, journalism and public policy — spend 2–3 months living and working alongside marginalised communities in Rajasthan, learning ground-up approaches to legal aid, community organising, and advocacy that classrooms rarely teach.
Our press kit includes organisational background, leadership profiles, high-resolution photographs, key statistics, and editorial contacts. We welcome responsible media coverage of human rights and social justice issues.
