Media promotes and safeguards the human rights, democracy and good governance not only by its power
and ability to bring out the information about human rights violations that affects the honour, justice and life
of all communities, but it also raises or enhances the understanding and awareness of the general public
about the dynamics behind issues, events and happenings and it connects the people all over the world as
well.

Besides that, to raise awareness and to inculcate better understanding among the general public about
their rights and its violations, it has a moral obligation to investigate, monitor and report about the
observance of human rights and its violations.

The main goal of Yaazhparis and Thaaiman websites is not only to provide correct and credible information
