Our Chair Julie sees Womankind’s unique support to partners in action in Nepal as we strengthen three women’s organisations though training and capacity-building.
Babita Basnet, Director of Communication for Equality in Nepal, tells us what she thinks of Womankind’s women’s rights advocacy toolkit and how she plans to use it in the future.
In Nepali culture women who are widowed must follow a strict set of rules, such as wearing dull colours or white for the rest of their lives, and are excluded from social gatherings.
Our Chair Julie writes about an interesting discussion with Saathi, one of our partners in Nepal, about whether a women’s organisation should fund projects for men.
Womankind’s Chair Julie has been travelling in Nepal with our Programme Manager, visiting our partners. First, she meets the Feminist Dalit Organisation.
Our policy team have been hard at work on a fantastic new Women’s Rights Advocacy Toolkit which will help women’s rights activists all over the world to campaign for change.
We have some good news to share on International Women’s Human Rights Defenders Day – our partner Women for Human Rights in Nepal have won an award for their work with widows.
Our partner Feminist Dalit Organisation have won the Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize international award for their great work tackling violence against women.
