Project Details

Violence against women is a burning issue in today’s context even though many women are empowered and aware now.  In Nepal, although, women are leading in many sectors, there are many girls especially in the slums who are facing harassment and violence.

When we read in the newspapers about the cases of women and girls who are facing the problems of violence, we observed cases of violence against women and girls in one month as recorded in the newspapers.There are hundreds of such cases unrecorded throughout the country.  In this situation, we decided to do what is possible within our capability and then we started a project named “STUDENTS UNITING AGAINST VIOLENCE (SAVE)”. In this project we will ask support from the volunteering groups or various organizations that are working in the field of girls/ women violence in Nepal.We will collect some money from the students of our school voluntarily and will use that money to support the girls of the slums by providing them some sanitary materials. The support program will be targeting the women ans especially teenage girls of the slums; as in the slums , the girls are less protected and backward than those of normal society.
