Immediate Action Requested: Be a Voice for Your Community - Participate in the Global Sikh Civil Rights Survey

New York, NY, USA: In preparation for the second-annual Global Sikh Civil Rights Report, UNITED SIKHS has launched a survey to ascertain the state of the global Sikh nation, and urges all members of the international Sikh community to participate. The survey assists UNITED SIKHS in assessing the civil and human rights conditions in each country, information which, in turn, helps us to tailor our efforts to the most pressing concerns of the Sikh community throughout the globe. You can join in our mission to eradicate hatred and discrimination throughout the globe by participating in the survey. Click here to play your part.

Last year, our Global Sikh Civil Rights Report 2008 was the first of its kind to evaluate the civil and human rights challenges faced by Sikh community throughout the world. Through this evaluation, the challenges Sikhs face internationally were brought to light, illuminating how issues vary in severity from country to country, yet the overall themes of discrimination are the same. Help us tailor our advocacy initiatives for the greatest global impact by participating in the survey.

Our Mission

To transform underprivileged and minority communities and individuals into informed and vibrant members of society through civic, educational and personal development programs, by fostering active participation in social and economic activity.

UNITED SIKHS is also an avenue for networking between like-minded organisations to establish and nurture meaningful projects and dialogues - whether social, cultural or political- to promote harmony, understanding and reciprocity in our villages, towns and cities.

UNITED SIKHS is a coalition of organisations and individuals, who share a common vision based on the belief that there is no greater endeavour than to serve, empower and uplift fellow beings. The core of our philosophy is an unwavering commitment to civic service and social progress on behalf of the common good.

Accordingly, UNITED SIKHS has sought to fulfil its mission not only by informing, educating and uplifting fellow beings but also by participating in cross-cultural and political exchanges to ensure that the promises and benefits of democracy are realized by all.

We at UNITED SIKHS believe that the development of enlightened and progressive societies can be made possible by socially conscious groups of people who make a commitment to develop and direct human potential. Our work, efforts and achievements stand as a testament to our faith in this vision.
