Welcome to
Dalit Women Network (DWN)
Dalit Women Network (DWN) is one of the Dalit women's rights organizations which was started as a campaign for protecting the human rights of Dalit women in April 2018 at Kirtipur and formally registered as a non-governmental organization in District Administration Office (DAO) Kathmandu on 20 February 2019. It has also been affiliated with Social Welfare Council (SWC). The core interest of the DWN movement is empowering women and holding local government responsive and accountable with a special focus on advancing human rights and access to the development and justice for Dalit women. It has made strong relationships with local government, women organizations, Dalit organizations, civil society organizations, and relevant stakeholders at the local level to raise the issues of Dalit women towards ensuring rights, entitlements, and inclusion of Dalit women.
