| | National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR) |
 | | ASF will be organised as a platform for participatory formulation of alternatives to the dehumanising world order resulting from the policies and practices of neo-liberal globalisation. |  | | Decline in social protection due to the withdrawal of the State from many public economic activities and a shift towards the private sector, and the absence of alternative forms of protection in the private sector against caste-based market discrimination, has given rise to new vulnerability and uncertainty for Dalits in access to sources of livelihood. |  | | The consequence of reduction in government and the public sector and its replacement by the private sector mean that the access of Dalits to employment, capital and social services like education, housing and other under reservation will be now much less. |

| | GLOBALISING RESISTANCE |
 | | The initiative began in continental Europe, with a small nucleus of social activists and scholars banding together to advocate the cause of a tax on speculative financial transactions that held the markets of several developing countries in their thrall, invariably with destabilising effects. |  | | India was considered an appropriate venue for a future gathering both because of its size and its relatively well-established democratic traditions and in recognition of the fact that it had managed to take the debate on alternatives to globalisation to a fairly high plane. |  | | "Don't owe, won't pay," was a common refrain at the ASF, with several of the delegates insisting that the debt incurred by developing countries had been more than repaid and was only being sustained at immensely bloated levels by the sleight-of-hand of Western governments and financial institutions. |
