In diverse corners of Nepal, fifteen groups of extraordinary women leaders were selected by Women's Rehabilitation Centre (WOREC) under the “Strengthening Networks of Women on Humanitarian Action (SNEHA)” project supported by CARE USA within the “Women’s Voice and Leadership in Humanitarian Settings (WHS)” project. The leaders were selected from seven districts, each with a distinctive journey marked by resilience and unwavering dedication to advancing women's rights in their communities. This case study was conducted by Centre for Women’s Awareness and Development (CWAD) to highlight and document six of the organizations’ learnings from the various interventions by WOREC, including a 7- day Feminist Mentoring Training (FMT), a selfcare session, intergenerational dialogues, and many more. These women have not only surmounted personal challenges but evolved into catalysts for positive transformation.
