APWLD

NIWF is one of the partner organizations in the Migration (MUAH) program of the Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law, and Development (APWLD) for the year 2022-2024. With the help of this program, NIWF will work with the Indigenous Returnee migrant women of Chautara Sangachokgadhi Municipality, Bagmati Province. This is a Feminist Participatory Action Research that will work directly with the Indigenous Returnee migrant women to work on the issue that is most important to them. This project helps to combat structural injustices and will give grassroots Indigenous Returnee Migrant Women the tools they need to improve their ability to gather evidence, increase their bargaining power, plan campaigns and advocacy efforts, and form movements to demand structural changes. This project will work directly with the Indigenous Returnee migrant women to bring their narrative to the forefront and work alongside them to lobby for a structural change. It will also give them a platform to enhance their leadership skills while working together to challenge the negative stereotypes against Indigenous Women and Migrant Women.
