The issue of women's empowerment and gender equality is at the top of agendas in Nepal, as gender inequality is widespread in all cultures. The presence of gender disparity and gender-based violence and discrimination were further visibly distinct during the time of lockdown, last year when WOREC recorded significant rises in the cases of violence against women.
On the occasion of International Women's Day, Social Media Campaign 'We Stan Gender Equality' is organized (from 20th February to 8th March), highlighting the transformation and empowerment stories of the members who have challenged patriarchy, discrimination and gender-based violence.
