Many women and girls in Nepal remain voiceless, which plays a role in the high rate of domestic violence, sex trafficking and other issues they face. Equal Access is empowering marginalized women by training them to be reporters so that they will capture the experiences of women in marginalized communities on a range of issues that affect their lives. Equipped with reporting skills and the recorders, these women are now employable and empowered to make a difference in their community.

Only 4% of Dalits in Nepal pass the final exam at the end of 10th grade that is required to continue their education. They must then complete the newly added 11th and 12th grades before they can go on to college. Imagine you're a Dalit girl graduating from the 10th grade, and you're faced with the overwhelming task of paying tuition fees as well as room and board in a distant city just to complete high school. This is where we come in - to provide a modest stipend to make this possible.

Nepal

Nepal is one of the least developed countries in the world and 1/3 of the population - mostly from rural areas - live in absolute poverty with limited access to basic amenities or schooling. Girl children are often denied schooling (63% literacy for boys and only 35% for girls). Programs focusing on rural girls will build a foundation to improve women's lives in rural Jumla - a remote rural district recovering from the 10 year civil war. Teaching girls basic literacy will lead them to education.

In Nepal women have been deprived of all opportunities and destined to remain as second grade citizens - excluded and subjected to subservient to men. The Dalits, the groups of people traditionally regarded as low caste and even untouchables, have remained discriminated against and marginalized. The plight of Dalit women is a double disadvantage. The recent political constitutional changes open up opportunities for them. But the non-functional governance the plight of Dalit women hasn't changed.
