Advocacy and Legal

Advocacy

Advocacy is the act of influencing decisions taken by people in authority. IMCR shall ensure that decisions that affect Muslims and other weaker communities comply with standards set by Constitution of India and UN Human Rights Charter.

Protecting the interests of Indian Muslims requires vigilance and sustained advocacy. IMCR regularly engages Civil Society, Activists, Elected Leaders, Government Officials, Policymakers, and the Courts to promote the maintenance of a harmonious society for every Indian.

IMCR plan to create an strong advocacy message for the Audience by describing the problems, with facts, proof and data, who it affects, its impact on Indian Civil Society.

Following in the footsteps of IMCR, Members of the various Opposition Political Parties, Activists and Educationists have demanded explanations from the Central and State governments on the Anti-Minority Policies, persecution, attacks, Police inaction and mob lynching incidents.
