Ensaaf

Non-profit Organizations2-10 Employees

Ensaaf is a nonprofit organization working to end impunity for crimes against humanity in India, by documenting abuses, holding perpetrators accountable, and advancing survivors' rights.

Ensaaf means justice in many South Asian languages. Ensaaf has established an international reputation for innovative and effective advocacy, working with India's preeminent human rights attorneys and the world's foremost human rights organizations.

Ensaaf is working to document the thousands of disappearances and extrajudicial executions perpetrated in Punjab, as well as the systems of abuse; hold the primary architects of these abuses accountable; and
organize survivors on the issues of truth, justice, and reparations.

Ensaaf is currently focusing on Punjab because Punjab presents a unique and timely opportunity to challenge systematic impunity in India. For example, key cases have reached higher courts that will set national precedent on human rights norms. Once Ensaaf achieves its objectives, it will work to replicate its model and successes in other regions of India.
