About the organization

National Indigenous Women Forum

NGO / INGO / Development Projects

Pepsicola, Kathmandu

National Indigenous Women Forum (NIWF) was founded in 1998 aiming to make development programs for women and indigenous peoples successfully; to organize and empower indigenous women from local to national levels on common issues of women; and work for equity and equality by having common objectives on women’s common issues. There are not only common problems and issues of indigenous women and other women and also of indigenous women and indigenous men but also distinct problems and issues that are unique to indigenous women. Therefore, the National Indigenous Women Forum (NIWF) was established to support and raise awareness of indigenous women, to intensify advocacy for securing rights of indigenous women and indigenous children, and to run programs with focus on advocacy, training, discussion, interaction, study and research. NIWF supports indigenous women to be an equal partner in the national development.
