PEOPLE'S WATCH SPEAKS UP TO RIGHT THE WRONG

SPEAKING up when the world is willing to listen is quite easy. Not so when the world looks away.

But some people, like Henri Tiphagne, love to fall into the second category. He has, time and again, roared like a lion when everything was against his odds. He believed that only his voice could bring attention to the issues of the underprivileged—a true champion of human rights.

An advocate and ardent human rights activist, Henri is one of the founders and executive directors of People's Watch in Madurai. He is the first recipient of the eighth Human Rights Award by Amnesty International, Germany, from India. People's Watch has been working with unwavering dedication and commitment to fulfil its vision of promoting a society free from discrimination and injustice and creating socio-economic conditions for the realisation of human values and rights.
