India has four Young Voices groups – one each in Delhi, Bangalore, Jharkhand and Mumbai. Members focus on making sure that existing laws are enforced and lobbying for new legislation. Campaign issues include: access to public sector jobs, accessible voting, access to social protection and advocacy for a new law to harmonise with the UNCRPD.
