The programme was organized by Setik Human Rights Unit in coordination with the divisional secretariat of Ambagamuwa. The main aim of this programme was to obtain the birth certificates, national identity cards and other relevant documents of the tea plantation people in the district of Nuwara Eliya. The tea plantation people have to face lots of hardships in obtaining the above said documents to get the citizenship. During this programme we completed the relevant documents and prepared separate files for each individual who don’t have the above mentioned documents. Meantime we were able to issue 68 birth certificates on the spot for 68 people since they were able to provide us all the relevant documents. Meantime 24 people were registered and 14 birth certificates were amended and provided to the relevant persons. <br /><br />During this programme an art exhibition on human rights violations and children’s rights, was organized for school children. 365 children took part at the art exhibition and 100 certificates were given for the selected arts. <br /><br /> Exhibiting of cutouts on domestic violence, police torture, child labour and migration issues were also took place during the programme.

More than 200 plantation sector people took part in this programme. We selected plantation sector people for this programme because they are the marginalized group in the society. We made them aware about their rights and we opened a discussion to talk about their problems as well as to talk about the conflict issues. Finally after the programme we were able to direct them to the relevant authorities to solve their problems. The people who participated at the programme were very much impressed and they appreciate it.SETIKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06709823694781016274noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022768384830760590.post-54951275647865057992007-07-19T03:15:00.000-07:002008-12-10T02:33:21.798-08:00Exhibition on Human Rights Violations<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI_nixGtvAsaWGrzsnyrPtuZBDX0iqv5120LQyeBHXlieUiJWbM1iuAEiLRqxDeBoPAG1xX3MBCUMYc4cPjztBnVMybQqXIAXnQI5LH5ldE3RbOpqkG6rBwGeSq1mBZE-_RDLo1xXPhMKx/s1600-h/Posters+by+school+children.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088850423893937842" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI_nixGtvAsaWGrzsnyrPtuZBDX0iqv5120LQyeBHXlieUiJWbM1iuAEiLRqxDeBoPAG1xX3MBCUMYc4cPjztBnVMybQqXIAXnQI5LH5ldE3RbOpqkG6rBwGeSq1mBZE-_RDLo1xXPhMKx/s320/Posters+by+school+children.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Setik organized an exhibition on Human Rights highlighting various Human Rights violations in our society today.
