ActionAid Nepal continues working with women, marginalized groups

Kathmandu, July 4

Throughout 2025, ActionAid International Nepal (AAIN) continued working to advance dignity, equality, and justice of women, informal and gig workers, survivors of violence and other marginalised communities.  

The year also saw the continued implementation of its two signature campaigns on decent work and climate justice, AAIN informed during its 22^nd national audit organised in Kathmandu on Friday.

This year’s social audit provided an opportunity to share the impact of our collaborative work, achievements, lessons, challenges, and financial performance of ActionAid International Nepal during 2025, said Sujeeta Mathema, Executive Director of the organisation.

This event marked the launch of AAIN's Annual Reflection and Learning Document (ARLD) 2025, which highlighted overall works, collaboration and impact last year.

The document focuses on how communities across Nepal strengthened their agency, claimed their rights, and led change in areas including women’s rights, decent work, quality public education, climate resilience, humanitarian response, and local governance.

The event was attended by members of parliament including Renuka Kaucha, Sajida Khatun Siddiqi, Ganesh BK, Bharat Bahadur Khadka, Radhika Ramtel and former member of NPC Dr. Dilli Raj Khanal, Deputy Mayor from Shankharapur Municipality Samita Shrestha, and Association of International NGOs (AIN) Chariperson Sanjay Karki.

Likewise, Sajina Chepang, labour activist from Dhading and Babu Dumi Rai, activist from LGBTQIA+ community also shared their insights on social justice.
