People for Equality and Relief in Lanka (PEARL) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit human rights organization led by Tamil activists advocating for justice, accountability, and self-determination for the Tamil people in the North-East of Sri Lanka. Founded in 2005 following human rights violations against civilians during the civil war, PEARL engages in international legal research, policy advocacy, community organizing, and documentation of systemic abuses, including militarization, forced disappearances, land grabs, and state violence. The organization mobilizes global Tamil youth and interacts directly with international bodies, such as the United Nations Human Rights Council, to push for formal recognition of Tamil genocide and advance justice mechanisms.
