Since 2023, National Indigenous Women Forum (NIWF) has partnered with Women's Fund Asia (WFA) on the project “Strengthening Indigenous Women's Movement with Elected Indigenous Women Representatives from Sudurpaschim and Madhesh Provinces.”  The objective of this project is to build and enhance awareness and knowledge of Elected Indigenous Women leaders at Federal, Provincial Assembly and Municipal levels on international mechanisms and processes such as CEDAW, UNFCCC, CBD COP and Decade of  Indigenous language. A key outcome has been the development of a National Position Paper advocating for the rights of Indigenous Women. This initiative has fostered unity among Indigenous Women MPs, transcending their diverse political affiliations, to collaboratively address Indigenous Peoples' issues. The project further provides a vital platform for dialogue on the challenges faced by Indigenous Women and Peoples, leveraging constitutional provisions and international frameworks to advance their rights and interests.
