<p>We engage with India on the full range of human rights matters, working with Union
and State Governments and with non-governmental organisations to build capacity and
share expertise to promote human rights for all. The British High Commission recently
met the Vice Chairman of the National Commission for Minorities in July to discuss
minority rights.</p><p><del class="ministerial">We also support local NGOs to deliver
projects to promote minority rights. In 2015, we funded a project that trained 500
tribal men and women on women’s rights and access to justice. During 2016-2018, we
provided legal training for 2,000 Dalit women to combat violence against them, and
helped create a network of Dalit Women Human Rights Defenders in four states. This
year, we have launched a network of legal experts to empower Dalit communities in
Andhra Pradesh and a helpline for victims of persecution to seek support.</del></p><p></p>
