The Dalit Development Society (DDS) is dedicated to addressing the needs of marginalised people, especially those from dalit ('untouchable') caste groups in Nepal. DDS works to create a more just society. It focuses on victims of the recent conflict and dalit people, promoting basic human rights and re-integrating marginalised people. DDS works to address social exclusion, in the belief that caste discrimination is a major contributor to the conflict in Nepal.
