World Sikh Organization
The World Sikh Organization (WSO) is a non-profit organization〔 whose 1984 founding goal was "to provide an effective, credible voice to represent Sikh interests on the world stage", after Operation Blue Star. Its stated goal is "to promote and protect the interests of the Sikh Diaspora",〔 and "promote and advocate for" human rights.〔 Dr. Amritpal Singh Shergill currently serves as President of the organization.
==History==
The World Sikh Organization (WSO) was formed after an international gathering of Sikhs on July 28, 1984 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, NY which included several thousand people from the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and several countries in the far east. The organisation was formed with two branches, WSO-Canada and WSO-America, and headquarters in Ottawa and New York. In January 1985, a bilingual newspaper, the ''World Sikh News'', was launched from Stockton, California in order to "project the voice of Sikhs across the world" and highlight "Sikh participation in America’s 'social and cultural life'".〔 The ''World Sikh News'' was a supporter of the WSO but was not officially linked with the organization in any way and operated independently.
The WSO has drawn widespread support〔 and is involved in various community issues including the right to wear turbans, right to wear kirpans, support for same-sex marriage,〔(Proceedings of the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs. Afternoon session. July 13, 2005. ) Parliament of Canada.〕 and Gurdwara management. WSO officials are chosen through a mix of elections and nominations and meetings are generally held in gurdwaras.〔
