What are some of the issues taken up by civil society organizations today?

Solution

Civil society is the non-state and non-market part of the public domain in which individuals get together voluntarily to create institutions and organisations.

Activities of civil society organisations have an wider range, it covers advocacy and lobbying activity with national and international agencies as well as active participation in various moments.
The issues taken up are: tribal struggles for land rights, devolution in urban governance, campaigns against rape and violence against women, rehabilitation of those displaced by dams and other developmental projects, fishermen’s struggles against mechanised fishing, rehabilitation of hawkers and pavement dwellers, campaigns against slum demolitions and for housing rights, primary education reform, distribution of land to Dalits, etc.
Civil liberties organisations have been particularly important in keeping a watch on the state and forcing it to obey the law.
