Achieving Gender Equality

WOMEN AND GIRLS.  A GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE.

ACHIEVING GENDER EQUALITY


While Nepal has made important steps towards gender equality, Nepal’s patriarchal culture continues to value boys over girls. Girls are often seen as a economic burden on their families, less likely to be educated than their brothers and more likely to be married before 18 years of age.

​Cultural practices, such as Chappaudi, where girls, seen as unclean, are isolated from the home during menstruation, further entrench women’s status as second-class.   

If you are born a girl in Nepal, you are more likely, compared to your male counterpart, to have a lower literacy rate, greater chance of domestic and sexual violence, greater burden of household work and family care, greater exclusion from decision-making and less opportunity to earn income or own property.
Our work with women & girls in Nepal
The systematic discrimination of women and girls is a global human rights issue. 
​
​We know that women and girls are the future. When we invest in women and girls, in their education, their health, their voice and their futures, their families and communities thrive.
