We ensure to make positive changes in the lives of the Arunthathiyar community by impacting policies and programs while strengthening the civil society organisations working for this cause.

Since 2019, we have been working as a forum to uplift the Arunthathiyar community, especially women and children, while putting out extensive initiatives that include active government participation through laws, regulations, national action plans, and accountability systems to guarantee their benefit. We comprise 61 Arunthathiyar led community based organizations across Tamil Nadu.
Our goal is to promote policy changes by collecting, analyzing, and sharing data on the community's economic, social, political, and educational standing. We intend to impact 100 organizations in Tamil Nadu, enhance internal reservations and guarantee appropriate accessibility by constructing more robust and comprehensive advocacy campaigns at the state level. Our organization makes sure to eradicate manual scavenging and look for alternate work for them. In collaboration with like minded people, and organizations, we shall also push for inclusive policies that support employment and opportunity for these socially marginalised communities, while condemning violence, discrimination and exploitation against them. Enhancing the ability of Arunthathiyar organizations, groups, and individuals committed to ASJF's aims is essential, this can be done by providing training, workshops, and resources to enable the organization to pursue these goals effectively.
