NCAS believes that advocacy efforts appear is many different shapes and forms. Using various mediums, including film and dance, NCAS seeks to use media as an alternative advocacy method to raise awareness concerning social justice issues.
Working within the community, often with grassroots advocacy initiatives, campaign support is NCAS’ way of demonstrating solidarity with human rights advocates throughout India.
