Mitini Nepal (Mitini) works for lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex + rights in Nepal and is the first established LBTQI+ organisation of Nepal.
Since 2005, Mitini has been advocating for the inclusion of LBTQI+ women in The Women’s Movement and has been closely working with women-rights organisations. Mitini supports all human rights, but focuses on the female members of the queer community.
Miniti advocate for the equal rights of LBTQI+ people through interaction with policymakers and government stakeholders, media and other members of civil society. Mitini also organise discussions, seminars, workshops, development programs, psychosocial and legal counselling and research on LBTQI+ women’s issues.
Miniti’s goal is to empower LBTQI+ people to access equal rights to live free from violence, persecution, discrimination and stigma.
The main focus of Womankind’s partnership with Mitini is contributing to the shared aim of strengthening the women’s movement, including the voice and visibility of lesbian, bisexual and transgender women, and supporting resilience and capacity for coordinated action at local and national levels and engagement at regional and global levels.
