Under Oxfam's Sustainable Development Programme, there are three inter-connected programmes – Women Empowerment Programme, Food Security and Sustainable Livelihood Programme, and and Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation. All programmes aim at delivering improvements in governance, gender equality and social inclusion to help women in Nepal enjoy equal rights and are valued and acknowledged as decision makers at all levels, improve food security and livelihoods status of poor, socially excluded and vulnerable women and men, and save lives in case of disasters with enhanced resilience. 

Women Empowerment Programme

Women empowerment

Every day, in every country in the world, women are confronted by discrimination and inequality. They face violence, abuse and unequal treatment at home, at work and in their wider communities – and are denied opportunities to learn, to earn and to lead. The Women Empowerment Programme’s aims to support women and girls from poor and excluded groups to enjoy their rights and lead a dignified life free from violence.
