Anton Fernando

Caritas Sri Lanka (SEDEC)
Sri Lanka
Anton works on two projects with 13 Caritas diocesan centres. Both projects are implemented through “village peace communities”. The two projects, ‘Advocacy Towards Reconciliation, Unity and Good Governance’ and ‘Respect for Human Rights as a Pathway towards Reconciliation’ aim to empower grassroots communities to act on various human rights issues affecting their community. Anton undertakes regular monitoring visits to the target communities, meetings with the people and other stakeholders, preparing reports and participating in meetings and discussions organised by the Human Rights Commission. He believes that the DTP training will be very relevant to his work and will enrich his knowledge on human rights.
